Analyzer java-safepoint

java-safepoint: Java Safepoint Pause Histogram.

Name

java-safepoint - Java Safepoint Pause Histogram

This analyzer measures how long HotSpot stays in a safepoint. A safepoint is a JVM-wide coordination point: Java threads must reach a safe state before HotSpot can do work such as some GC operations, deoptimization, class operations, or thread inspection. The histogram shows pause frequency and duration, with minimum, average, maximum, and total time.
