What garbage collector "PS Scavenge" and "PS MarkSweep" stand for?

843829Nov 15 2007 — edited Nov 16 2007

I run jvm on linux 64 bit two dual-core CPU machine. When using jconsole, I can see garbage collector "PS Scavenge" and "PS MarkSweep" are used.

Can someone told me what they are exactly?

Is "PS Scavenge" a parallel young generation copy collector?

Is "PS MarkSweep" the collector chosen by the command line option "-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"?

Many thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Jerry
