In 2015-16, India produced 89.776 MT (provisional) of crude steel and attained the position of 3rd largest steel producer in the world, after China and Japan. However, the Per Capita steel consumption in India is low at around 60 kg as against the world average of around 216 kg. This justifies the need for a rapid increase in capacity and production of steel in the years to come. As per the present projections, it is expected that India will emerge as the 2nd largest steel producer soon. India has accordingly, fixed a target of 300 million tonne production capacity by 2025.
Post-liberalization, technological profile of the Indian Steel Industry has undergone substantial change. With setting up of new large modern steel plants based on state-of-the-art technologies and modernisation/ expansion of existing steel plants, there is a upward trend in efficiency parameters of operation viz. productivity, energy efficiency, environment friendliness etc. Further, with setting up of Electric Induction Furnaces in the unregulated regime, technology-mix of the Indian Steel Industry has changed to a unique position. About 59% steel is produced through the Electric Furnace route of which about 31% steel is produced through the Electric Induction Furnace (EIF) route and 28% from Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) route. About 41% steel is produced through the conventional integrated route of BF-BOF route as against the world average of around 74%. India is the world's largest producer of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) or Sponge Iron. During 2015-16, total production of sponge iron is reported at around 22.40 million tonnes of which 85% are coal based plants and 15% are gas based plants.
The R&D efforts by the Indian steel companies out of their own corpus have mainly concentrated on improving internal processes related to saving costs and improving efficiency. Process improvements such as beneficiation and pelletization of iron ore have received good response in the industry. Adoption of continuous casting together with thin slab casting as well as dedicated technologies for harnessing waste heat are drawing the attention of the steel companies. These have led to improved productivity and energy efficiency in the Indian steel industries. However, there are certain constraints in raw material quality, particularly high Alumina in Indian iron ore and high ash in Indian coal, which adversely affect the techno economic performance of the whole industry. To address these constrains and also to sustain the projected high growth rate, there is an urgent need for concerted R&D and technology intervention in the iron and steel sector.
Product development is yet another challenging area being faced by the steel industry in India. While large varieties of value added steel products are now being produced indigenously, the country is dependent on import for several high performance and value added steel products like electrical steel, automotive grade steel and steels for specialized use in defence, space and nuclear applications. The technology in such high-value products is closely held by the companies in the US, Japan & Korea, who do not part with such technologies easily. Not only huge R&D investments to develop such technologies are needed but efforts are also required for technological collaborations with such companies for acquiring high-end technologies possessed by them.
The first R&D Laboratory in the steel sector in India was set up in 1936 at Tata Iron & Steel Company (TISCO). SAIL set up their Corporate R&D Centre in 1972 at Ranchi. R&D facilities in newer plants of JSW Steel and Essar Steel came into being in 2000's. Government has also set up several National / Regional Laboratories / Institutes under CSIR. Amongst them, National Metallurgical Laboratory (NML), Jamshedpur and Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (IMMT), Bhubaneswar are associated with R&D in iron and steel including minerals and fuels. In addition, some academic institutes, like IITs and NITs, are also engaged in carrying out sponsored research work in the area of iron and steel.
The steel companies like SAIL, Tata Steel, JSW Steel and Essar Steel have accomplished some significant work in the area of raw material beneficiation, agglomeration and product development. However, the major focus of work in these companies generally relates to incremental technology development to address the present and short term needs of various production units. As a matter of fact, barring some commendable product development efforts, their contributions towards disruptive technology development have not been noteworthy. The actual investment on R&D by the large steel companies in India varies from company to company in the range of 0.05-0.5% of their sales turnover. Secondary Steel sector has limited capacity for undertaking research and development. Ministry of Steel is therefore, pursuing several R&D projects for the benefit of the secondary sector units.
R&D scenario in Steel companies abroad, particularly, in China, Japan and South Korea is quite different. They have large outlay of funds earmarked for R&D and also have visible tie-up with external laboratories and academic institutions. Annual R&D investment in these companies is very high and varies in the range of 1-1.5% of their sales turnover. Steel industry across the globe, and particularly in the advanced countries have identified climate change as a major challenge for more than two decades and have been proactive in reducing energy consumption and green house gas emissions by aggressive R&D and technology interventions adopting the clean & green and state-of-art technologies in all areas of production. In India also, some of the R&D projects undertaken by research laboratories and steel plants are also being directed towards reduction of energy consumption and Green House Gas Emission (GHG).
As per the Department of Public Enterprises guidelines, Maharatna & Navaratna category of CPSEs are required to invest in R&D @1% of PAT and @ 0.5% of PAT in case of Miniratna companies. This guideline is being adhered to by the CPSEs steel companies viz. SAIL & RINL. However, these guidelines are the minimum guidelines and also provide that CPSEs should make an attempt to benchmark R&D spending with internationally prevalent best practices in the sector.
Ministry of Steel has published 'A Roadmap for Research & Development and Technology for Indian Iron & Steel Industry' in Sept 2011 with as aim to sensitize the Indian steel industry to improve its technological face through R&D and technology intervention (Annex-1). Further, the report of the Working Group on Steel Industry for the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-2017) has called for aggressive R&D initiatives in steel sector (Annex-2).
The R&D and Technology Roadmap had taken a stock of the low R&D investment in the country and recommended major steel companies must increase their R&D investment during the next five years in the 12th Five Year Plan and achieve the target of 1% of sales turnover by the terminal year (2016-17) and 2% by 2020. The Working Group on Steel Industry for the 12th Five Year Plan has also recommended minimum 1% investment in R&D by the steel companies on their sales turnover.
In pursuance of the recommendations of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Coal & Steel, Ministry of Steel has issued necessary advisory to the steel PSUs as well as private sector companies to chalk out a strategy for taking up more and more R&D activities by spending at least 1% of their sales turnover by the end of 12th Five Year Plan.
The R&D and Technology Roadmap delineates the thrust areas for R&D and Technology development in Indian Steel Sector (Annex-3). which encourages/facilitates development and adoption of such technologies which are relevant to natural resource endowment of the country, which minimize damage to the environment, optimize resource utilization, facilitate achievement of global standards of productivity and efficiency and development of front end and strategic steel based materials. Against this backdrop, the issue of utmost importance is the R&D intervention to find out techno-economic solutions to use indigenous raw material resources. Another area that requires attention is the product development to develop and produce high performance steel indigenously.
(i) R&D Scheme pursued with SDF : In order to augment R&D initiatives and to step up investment for it in the steel sector, the Government had decided in 1997-98 to fund upto Rs. 150 crore per year for R&D projects in iron & steel sector, from the interest proceeds of Steel Development Fund (SDF). An Empowered Committee has been set up under the chairmanship of Secretary (Steel) and members from Ministry of Science & Technology, Steel Producers, Research Laboratories and Academic Institutes. Under the Scheme financial assistance from SDF is provided to R&D projects pursued by reputed Research Laboratories, Academic Institutions & Industries. There is a two tier structure for evaluation of R&D proposals under this scheme. An Evaluation Group (EG) comprising Ministry of Steel. Department of Science & Technology, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and Defence Research and Development Organisation evaluates the R&D proposals and its recommendations are placed before the Empowered Committee for consideration & approval. There are also independent Empowered Board (EB) of experts for each project for review and monitoring the progress. Technical Division (TD) of the Ministry of Steel works as the Secretariat of the Empowered Committee to scrutinize the research proposals, obtain views of independent experts and monitor the progress of the projects for reporting to the Empowered Committee.
However, R&D and investment thereof even under this Scheme over the years has not been very encouraging. This is mainly because of limited number of overall R&D infrastructure in steel companies or in Laboratories resulting in limited number of applications. In between, R&D work under the scheme also had a slow pace because of limited availability of liquid fund in the SDF upon waiver of loans amounting to around Rs. 5000 crore advanced to SAIL from SDF as part of its restructuring plan in the year 2000. Further, Tata Steel has got a stay from the High Court on restricting the utilisation of their contribution in the SDF.
Under this scheme, upto April 2016, 91 R&D projects have been approved with a total cost of Rs. 950.65 crore with SDF contribution of Rs. 536.16 crore. The R&D projects include basic/ fundamental research as well as applied research i.e to find out ways to solve problems being faced by the industry. Research results of several R&D projects have already been implemented by plants under SAIL and in Tata Steel, resulting in improvement in productivity, reduction in energy consumption and pollution etc. A list of R&D projects pursued under this scheme along with their status/ outcomes, upto April 2016, is given at (Annex-4).
R&D Project Proposals are invited from Reputed Academic Institutions/ Research Laboratories and Indian Steel Companies for pursuing R&D projects for the benefit of the Iron & Steel Sector in the country
In this regard, the advertisement published in leading newspapers seeking R&D proposals for financial assistance from Government is given at (Annex-5).
The Guiding format for Research Proposal seeking full/partial financial support from SDF is given at (Annex-6). The Standard Terms & Conditions of the SDF Grant is given at (Annex-7).The applications as per guidelines may be initially submitted in 8 copies (along-with a soft copy of the proposal on CD) to: Shri. Sunil Barthwal, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Steel, Udyog Bhawan, Maulana Azad Road, New Delhi - 110107.
In view of the limited liquid money in SDF, the Government started a new scheme viz. "Promotion of R&D in Iron and Steel Sector", during the 11th Five Year Plan. As per the approval of the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) the three broad areas to be pursued under this scheme are:
A Project Approval and Monitoring Committee (PAMC) under the Chairmanship of Secretary (Steel) and members comprising Additional Secretary & Financial Adviser and Joint Secretary, Ministry of Steel, Director IIT Kharagpur, Director IMMT, Director NML and other members, is the decision making body for approval of R&D projects, monitoring of ongoing projects and for overall direction. Technical Wing (TW) of the Ministry of Steel works as the Secretariat of the PAMC to scrutinize the research proposals, obtain views of experts and monitor the progress of the projects for reporting to the PAMC. Project Review Committees (PRCs) comprising domain experts also monitors the progress and fund utilization of each project.
The aforesaid R&D Scheme has been continued in the 12 th Five Year Plan. In 12th FY Plan, two new objectives has been added along with the three aforesaid objectives namely:
The PAMC has so far approved 15 R&D projects with a total cost of Rs. 155.59 crore with financial assistance of Rs. 106.94 crore from Plan Fund. Major projects covered under the scheme include exclusive R&D initiatives to upgrade Indian low grade iron (including BHQ/BHJ) and Indian coking/non-coking coal. Details of the projects along with their status & outcome, upto April 2016, are given at(Annex-8). So far 6 projects have been completed wherein processes/ technologies have been developed in laboratory/ pilot scale for beneficiation & agglomeration of iron ore & coal for the benefit of the iron & steel sector. Process has also been developed in laboratory scale for production of low Phosphorus steel in laboratory scale Induction Furnace, for which industrial trials have also been carried out. Further, feasibility of smelting reduction of iron ore/fines using hydrogen plasma has been explored in laboratory/ pilot scale.
The technology for production of CRGO Steel Sheet is not readily available as only a handful of manufacturers are there worldwide and they are reluctant to provide the technology. The demand for CRGO Steel Sheets, used mostly in Transformers, in the country is 2 -2.5 Lakh TPA. Most of the demand is met from imports. Under this background, Government has decided to pursue the R&D for indigenous development of technology for Cold Rolled Grain Oriented (CRGO) steel sheets and other value added innovative steel products during the 12th Five Year Plan. Salient features of the project is given below:
R&D Project Proposals are invited from Reputed Academic Institutions/ Research Laboratories and Indian Steel Companies for pursuing R&D projects for the benefit of the Iron & Steel Sector in the country
In this regard, the advertisement published in leading newspapers seeking R&D proposals for financial assistance from Government is given at (Annex-5).
The Guiding formatfor Research Proposal seeking full/partial financial support from Plan Fund is given at (Annex-6).The Standard Terms & Conditions of financial support from Plan Fund is given at (Annex-9). he applications as per guidelines may be initially submitted in 8 copies (along-with a soft copy of the proposal on CD) to: Shri. Sunil Barthwal, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Steel, Udyog Bhawan, Maulana Azad Road, New Delhi - 110107.

Ministry of Steel is actively participating in the Impacting Research Innovation & Technology (IMPRINT) & (Uchchatar Avishkar Yojana) UAY Schemes launched by MHRD. Under the IMRPINT Scheme 3 R&D projects with total cost of Rs. 11.05 crore have been approved with 50% funding from Ministry of Steel. Under the UAY scheme, 3 R&D projects have been approved with total cost of Rs. 10.09 crore with 25% funding from Ministry of Steel.
Ministry of Steel constituted a Task Force under the Chairmanship of Dr. Baldev Raj, former Director, IGCAR, for suggesting a blueprint for an institutional mechanism to spearhead the R&D efforts in Iron & Steel Sector in India. The said Task Force, in its report inter-alia recommended setting up of a new institutional mechanism namely, Steel Research & Technology Mission of India (SRTMI) for taking up research projects of national importance. The proposal has been accepted by Ministry of Steel. The salient features of SRTMI are as under:
CEOs of Major Indian Steel Companies, signed a Memorandum of Agreement with Ministry of Steel in the presence of Hon'ble Minister for Steel & Mines on 6th April 2015 for participation and financial contribution in the initiative with an initial corpus of Rs 200 crore. SRTMI has been registered on 14 th October 2015. Selection of Office Space, Preparation of Organisation Structure, Preparation of Budget & Funding Mechanism is in progress.

Corporate learning and talent intelligence
Two new books explore how to add real value
May 17, 2013
The Business of Corporate Learning: Insights from practice
Here's a shocking finding: more than half of managers believe that employee performance would not change if their company's learning function were eliminated. Corporate learning may well be a joke in the eyes of some, but it shouldn't be, because it's big business. It's no laughing matter that organizations spend over $200 billion on learning each year.
In the new book, The Business of Corporate Learning: Insights from practice, IMD Professor Shlomo Ben-Hur demonstrates how corporate learning can and should have an integral, strategic role in a company. He sheds light on the reasons for success or failure in the strategic development of corporate learning and provides a 'how-to' guide for getting corporate learning to deliver tangible results.

Talent Intelligence: What You Need to Know to Identify and Measure Talent
Talent management is built upon talent intelligence—the understanding that businesses have of the skills, expertise and qualities of their people. It is the basis of every people decision that companies make and without it, they would be reduced to just randomly hiring and promoting people. Yet despite its vital importance, most companies appear to be failing to produce good talent intelligence.
The $4 billion per annum talent measurement industry has failed since it began over thirty years ago to produce any notable impact on businesses' ability to identify talent. Investigating why, IMD Professor Shlomo Ben-Hur and Nik Kinley reveal that the market for talent measurement is awash with dubious products and services. Many organizations lack the expertise needed to successfully navigate this market. As a result, organizations often either use the wrong assessment processes for their needs or use them in ways that limit their impact.
Talent Intelligence: What You Need to Know to Identify and Measure Talent shows how businesses can transform the value and impact of their talent intelligence, to ensure they get the right people in the right roles and that their talent management, and development activities are built on an accurate understanding of the talent available to them.

Memory management is one of the most crucial works for any programming language. Considering an application that reads a set of data and than write it to a database, for this it will use some intermediary storage place where it will store the data before putting it on to the database. Now, if that intermediary memory place is not cleared of the previous data it might result into its exhaustion which will bring our application down. To prevent such a case from occurring there can be two ways, one, clear the memory manually like in C++ or C, else, employ a background process of garbage collection to do this work automatically.
Now, whenever a software program runs it eats away some memory, like heap where the objects are created. Garbage collection deals with it and its main purpose are to delete all the objects that are either not in use or out of reach. So, all we do through a Java code is that we create objects as per our need and then destroy them when they are no longer in use. This garbage collector is under the control of JVM. Though JVM can be commanded to run the Garbage collector but then there seems no guarantee that actually the Garbage collector will be set out to work. So, the Garbage collector is normally run at the times when the JVM falls short of memory.
Garbage Collector at work
It is said that garbage collection uses "mark and sweep" algorithm and some other details however, the first thing we must know is that, when does one object become eligible for the garbage collection….or shall we say, is a garbage to the JVM. When we run the main() thread (one thread which will always be there along with other threads) and this thread can either be alive that is running or dead that is the execution is complete but it may also be the case that while main() thread is silent some other threads are working on it. And all the life cycle of the thread is maintained on its stack trace. And when garbage collector finds this that the particular object is no more accessible to any threads i.e. it is unreachable or no references exist to the object, such an object becomes vulnerable to be caught by the garbage collector.
Now, to make the object unreachable it is clear that the references to that object should cease to exist and this can be done by removing the reference to the object either by making the references null or by reassigning a new object to the existing reference for the current object.
Let's take some examples to understand how it can be done.
A) What if the "Reference is Null"?
Now, all we are looking forward to do here is to nullify the references to an object and once there are no reachable references the object looses its importance and is no longer needed thus becomes eligible for Garbage Collection.
Let's have a look at the example.
[code language="java"]
public class RefrenceGarbageDemo{
public static void main(String [] args) {
StringBuffer greet = new StringBuffer("hello");
greet = null;
Here, in the above given example code we can see that before the reference to the StringBuffer object "hello" is removed or nulled i.e. greet is set to null there can be seen on the console the print "hello" but it more refers to "hello" after greet = null;
B) Try "Reassigning a Reference Variable"
Another way in effect to remove the reference to a particular object and making it eligible for Garbage Collection is to set the reference variable which currently refers to it to a new object. Thus, re-assigning the reference variable. Let's have a look at the following code –
[code language="java"]
class RefrenceGarbageDemo{
public static void main(String [] args) {
StringBuffer greet = new StringBuffer("hello");
StringBuffer greetNu = new StringBuffer("goodbye");
greet = greetNu;
C) How about "Isolating a Reference"…
This time we are not removing the references but just isolating them. Consider a case where a reference to an object is also used to refer to another reference to the same object. Now imagine that two such instances exist and that they refer to each other. If all other references to these two objects are removed, then even though each object still has a valid reference, there will be no way for any live thread to access either object. When the garbage collector runs, it will remove such objects.
[code language="java"]
public class Referen {
Referen r;
public static void main(String args[]) {
Referen r2 = new Referen ();
Referen r3= new Referen ();
Referen r4= new Referen ();
r2.r = r3;
r3.r = r4;
r4.r = r2;
r2 = null;
r3 = null;
r4 = null;
However, we must always keep this in mind that the garbage collection is all not all in our control and how JVM works for it and selects the algorithm is all left to JVM's discretion.
I have covered Basics of Java Garbage collection above, which is more than sufficient for a java beginner. However if you want to read more and more about it then continue below!!!
Understanding Java Garbage Collection Concept is the most important step towards developing any good performance oriented and reliable java application. This document briefs the working of Garbage Collection and different algorithms employed by JVM to garbage collect.
"Garbage Collection" as the name suggests is used to remove the objects that are no longer needed by the Java application. The Java Garbage Collector will identify those objects and remove those from the memory thereby freeing the memory for the new objects.
The Java Objects are stored in the Heap. The Garbage Collector does another important work of Defragmenting (similar to our Windows Disk Defragmenter) the Heap spaces. The Objects collected by the Garbage Collector doesn't reside in contiguous memory location, they will be collected from random location in the Heap. So fragmenting (collating into contiguous memory location) those random spaces becomes an important task to be performed by the Garbage Collector after freeing the Heap.
Advantages of Garbage Collector
- It makes the developer's life simple as the thorniest task of maintaining the memory is taken care by the JVM more effectively and efficiently.
- It also ensures the integrity and security of the application is maintained as the developer is not involved in Memory Management which might accidentally crash the JVM due to improper memory handling.
Sun JVM Heap Configuration
The configuration of the heap is different for different vendor implementations. Let us consider the Sun JVM Heap configuration.
The Heap is divided into regions referred as Generations (Refer below Figure):
- Young Generation – further divided into Eden, Survivor Space 1 and Survivor Space 2.
- Tenured Generation.
- Permanent Generation.
Most Java Objects created are initially allocated in Eden. When the Eden space is full the objects are moved to the Survivor Space 1 and when the Survivor Space 1 is full then the all the live objects are moved to Survivor Space 2. The objects that live for longer time or not Garbage collected in Young Generation space are moved to Tenured Generation.
The third generation is Permanent Generation which holds objects describing classes, methods, Constant pool Information, Object arrays associated with the classes, JVM internal objects and other information needed for optimization by the JIT compilers.
Garbage collection occurs in each generation when it fills up thereby freeing the spaces for new objects. The collection of unused objects in the any of the three regions inside Young Generations is termed as Minor Collection and from Tenured or Old Generation is termed as Major Collection. Generally Major collections last much longer than Minor collections because a significantly larger number of objects are involved during Major Collections.
Garbage Collection Types
There are four different types of Collectors available,
- Serial Collector.
- Parallel Collector.
- Parallel Compacting Collector.
- Concurrent Mark-Sweep (CMS) Collector.
In the next section, let us briefly see the working of above collectors.
1) Serial Collector
The collections using Serial Collector are done in 'Stop the World' fashion. That is, the execution of application is paused while the collection of garbage takes place.
Collection of Young Generation using Serial Collector
- The live objects in Eden Space are copied to the empty survivor spaces.
- The live objects which do not fit completely in the empty survivor spaces are directly moved to Old Generation.
- The live objects in the Survivor space 1 that are still relatively Young are also copied to other Survivor Space, while the Old Objects are copied to the Old generation.
- Any objects that are remained in the Eden or Survivor Space 1 after the live objects are copied are considered as not live and will be garbage collected.
- After the collection, the Eden and Survivor Space 1 are empty and the Survivor Space 2 is with live objects.
- Now the Survivor Spaces will swap their roles.
Collection of Old Generation using Serial Collector
- Mark Sweep Compact collection algorithm is used to collect the Objects from Old Generation.
- Marking Phase: The collector identifies the live objects and marks them in the mark phase.
- Sweeping Phase: Then in the sweep phase the collector sweeps over the generations identifying the garbage.
- Compaction Phase: Once the garbage collected, then Sliding Compaction will be performed. This slides the live objects to the beginning of the Old generation and free spaces will be contiguous in the other end.
When to use Serial Collector
The serial collector is the collector of choice for applications that are run on client style machines and that do not have a requirement for low pause times. On current hardware configurations, the serial collector can efficiently manage a lot of simple applications with short pauses of less than half a second for full collections.
How to use Serial Collector
In the Java 5 release, the serial collector is automatically chosen as the default garbage collector on machines that are client style machines. On other machines, the serial collector can be explicitly requested by using the -XX:+UseSerialGC command line option.
2) Parallel Collector
The Parallel Collector, (AKA throughput collector), was developed in order to take advantage of available CPUs rather than leaving them idle while garbage collection work.
Collection of Young Generation using Parallel Collector
The parallel collector uses a parallel version of serial collector's young generation collection algorithm. Parallel Collector still works in stop the world fashion, but since the collection is parallel, using many CPUs, garbage collection overhead decreased and hence application throughput is increased.
Collection of Old Generation using Parallel Collector
Old generation garbage collection for the parallel collector is done using the serial mark sweep compact collection algorithm used by the serial collector.
When to use Parallel Collector
Applications that can benefit from the parallel collector are those that run on machines with more than one CPU and do not have pause time constraints. Infrequent, but long, old generation collections can occur. Scenarios for which the parallel collector can be used are batch processing applications, billing process, and etc.
How to use Parallel Collector
In the Java 5 release, the parallel collector is automatically chosen as the default garbage collector on server-class machines. The parallel collector can be explicitly requested by using the -XX:+UseParallelGC command line option.
3) Parallel Compacting Collector
The Parallel Compacting collector is more efficient than the Parallel Collector as it uses new algorithm to garbage collect the Old generations. The new algorithm enhances the Sweep Phase in Parallel Collector by introducing a new phase (Summary Phase), which effectively collects the Old Generation when compared to Parallel Collector collection of Old Generation.
Collection of Young Generation using Parallel Compacting Collector (PCC)
The algorithm for PCC of Young Generation is same as the collection of Young Generation using Parallel Collector.
Collection of Old Generation using Parallel Compacting Collector (PCC)
The old and permanent generations are collected in a stop the world fashion, in parallel fashion with sliding compaction. There are three phases involved.
- Marking Phase: The generations are logically divided into fixed-sized regions. The live objects are divided among garbage collection threads and they are marked parallel. When the objects are marked live the data of its region is updated with size and location of that object.
- Summary Phase: This phase operates on region rather than on objects. Some portion of the generation will be densely packed due to previous compactions. This phase will examine the density of the phases starting from left most area and stop at a point where the space could be recovered. Left side of that point is considered as dense prefix and the right side of that point will be considered as the free space where the compaction can happen and dead space will be eliminated. This phase just calculates the first byte of the live object for each of the compacted regions. Currently this phase happens in serial manner without any hiccups in performance.
- Compaction Phase: The Garbage Collection Threads will use the Summary Phase data to identify the regions and threads will copy the data into these regions.
When to use Parallel Compacting Collector
Parallel Compacting Collector is more efficient and beneficial than the Parallel Collector discussed in the previous section which can be used on applications that run on machines with multiple CPU's.
How to use Parallel Compacting Collector
Parallel Compacting Collector can be used by specifying the command line option XX:+UseParallelOldGC.
4) Concurrent Mark Sweep Collector
Old generation collections, though infrequent, can compel long pauses, when large heaps are involved. To address this issue, the HotSpot JVM (introduced as an add-on in Java 1.2 and made default from Java 1.3) includes a collector called the concurrent mark-sweep (CMS) collector, also known as the low-latency collector.
Collection of Young Generation using Concurrent Mark Sweep Collector
This is same as the Parallel Collector.
Collection of Old Generation using Concurrent Mark Sweep Collector
The collections are done concurrently with the execution of the application.
- The collection cycle of CMS collector starts with a short pause called Initial Mark where the live objects are identified and then marked during the concurrent marking phase.
- Since this marking of live objects happens while the application is running there might be possibility of live objects being not marked. For this reason another short pause will happen called remark which will finalize the marking.
- At the end of remark phase, concurrent sweep phase will reclaim all the garbage.
- This collector doesn't perform the compaction operation. It just frees the space but not collate it. This saves time but the simple pointer to next free location cannot be maintained as in other collectors instead free lists will be created linking the unallocated regions and these free lists will be searched when the new objects are allocated.
- To perorate, the CMS when compared to parallel collector, old generation pauses are decreased drastically, young generations are slightly longer and extra heap sizes are needed.
When to use CMS Collector
CMS can be used based on the below needs of the application,
- Shorter garbage collection pauses,
- Application which can share processor resources as the CMS runs concurrently,
- Application which can have large Old generations.
How to use CMS Collector
CMS collector can be used, by specifying the command line option XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
Introduction of Garbage First Garbage Collector
The Garbage-First Garbage Collector (aka G1 GC) is a new GC that is being introduced in the Java HotSpot VM in JDK 7. An initial version of G1 has been released in Java SE 6 Update 14. G1 is the replacement for Concurrent Mark-Sweep GC.
Working of G1 GC
- The heap is split into fixed size regions and the separation between the two generations is basically logical. So some regions are considered to be young, some old.
- Reclamation of space is done through copying. G1 selects a set of regions, pick the surviving object from those regions and copy them to another set of regions, instead of the combination of copying and in-place de-allocation that CMS does.
- Compaction: G1 GC is a compacting collector. Compacting is the process of moving the live object towards one end of the heap thereby the other end becomes contiguous free area of memory. G1 compacts efficiently to avoid the free lists for allocation used by CMS and eradicates potential fragmentation issues.
- Low Pauses and avoid Full GC: There will always be areas of contiguous free space ready for allocation, allowing G1 to have consistent low pauses over time. As G1 scans throughout the heap to identify the live objects, it knows the regions that are mostly empty and concentrate on those regions thereby making lot of free space available for allocation and try avoiding the Full GC.
Main difference between G1 GC and CMS collectors
- Compaction: G1 GC is a compacting collector. Compacting is the process of moving the live object towards one end of the heap thereby the other end becomes contiguous free area of memory. G1 compacts efficiently to avoid the free lists for allocation used by CMS and eradicates potential fragmentation issues.
- Low Pauses and avoid Full GC: There will always be areas of contiguous free space ready for allocation, allowing G1 to have consistent low pauses over time. As G1 scans throughout the heap to identify the live objects, it knows the regions that are mostly empty and concentrate on those regions thereby making lot of free space available for allocation and try avoiding the Full GC.
Garbage Collection Performance
The three main characteristics that affect garbage collection performance are:
- Pause: The amount of time that the JVM pauses while performing garbage collection.
- Throughput: The ratio of garbage collection time to application time.
- Footprint: The Heap Size
The goal is to minimize the pause and maximize the throughput. There is a tradeoff in defining the sizes of each region, "the larger the region, the less frequently it needs to be collected, but the longer each collection will take".
The Maximum Pause Time Goal can be specified using the below command line option
-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=<Value> Where <Value> user defined
The throughput goal can be specified using the below command line option XX:GCTimeRatio=<Value>, which sets the ratio of garbage collection time to application time to 1 / (1 + < Value >).
For example, -XX:GCTimeRatio=19 sets a goal of 1/20 or 5% of the total time in garbage collection. The default value is 99, resulting in a goal of 1% of the time in garbage collection.
Maximum heap footprint (i.e. heap Size) is specified using the option -Xmx<N>. The heap size depends upon the system's hardware. Application's memory footprint should not exceed the available physical memory.
Sizing Heap spaces
Listed below are some of the JVM options to size the heap
- -Xmx<size> : max heap size (young generation + old generation)
- -Xms<size> : initial heap size (young generation + old generation)
- -Xmn<size> : young generation size
- Applications that stress on performance tend to set -Xms and -Xmx to the same value. When -Xms != -Xmx, heap growth or shrinking requires a Full GC.
- -XX:PermSize=<size> : permanent generation initial size
- -XX:MaxPermSize=<size> : permanent generation max size
- Applications with emphasis on performance almost always set -XX:PermSize and -XX:MaxPermSize to the same value. Growing or shrinking the permanent generation requires a Full GC too.
In general, a particular generation sizing also plays an important part. For example, a very large young generation may maximize throughput, but at the expense of footprint, promptness and pause times. Small Young generation minimizes the Young Generation pauses at the expense of throughput. The sizing of one generation does not affect the collection frequency and pause times for another generation.
There can be no one straightforward way to size the generations. The developer has to choose the best way based on how application uses memory and other requirements.
OutOfMemory Error
The most common issue any java developers will encounter is java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. An OutOfMemoryError does not necessarily involve a memory leak. The issue might simply be a configuration issue, for example if the specified heap size (or the default size if not specified) is insufficient for the application.
To diagnose this error, the complete exception message has to be analyzed. Some common additional information's are,
- Java Heap size: This indicates that object could not be allocated in the heap. The possible reasons are,
- Maximum or default heap size specified is not sufficient for the application.
- Objects that are no longer needed cannot be garbage collected as the applications are still having the reference unintentionally.
- Excessive use of finalizers in the application.
- PermGen space: This indicates that the permanent generation is full. If an application loads a large number of classes, then the permanent generation may need to be increased. Command line option –XX: MaxPermSize=n, where n specifies the size can be provided.
- Requested array size exceeds VM limit: The application attempted to allocate an array that is larger than the heap size. For example, if an application tries to allocate an array of 128MB but the maximum heap size is 64MB, then this error will be thrown.
Use of HAT tool, jconsole etc can be used to identify the above issues. The proper runtime JVM configuration will also eradicate the OutOfMemoryError Issues.

Many might have prayed that the 'Hrithik-Susanne splitting' story was just another rumour, for the simple reason that they are a beautiful couple known for their strong bond and love. Yes, it has turned out to be just another rumour. Hrithik Roshan and Susanne Roshan are still going strong. Of course they are very upset with their fabricated break up story.
Susanne rubbished off the rumours that she and hubby Hrithik are splitting by saying that nobody can break their marriage, as their relationship is very strong. She however admitted that they were very upset with the 'split' rumours. She feels somebody is trying to pull her husband down. She said Hrithik is an amazing human being and that they share a beautiful and strong relationship.
It was earlier reported that Susanne had walked out with her kids Hrehaan and Hridhaan because of Hrithik's relationship with his Kites co-star Barbara Mori. The truth is that Susanne moved to her parents' house along with the kids, as the renovation of their house is on.
All is well that ends. Hrithik has come back from South Africa and is having quality time with his wife and children at his in-law's house. Let's hope this piece of news puts all the rumours to rest!

Channel Seven, 8.30pm
You know you've been reviewing telly for way too long when you find yourself kind of enjoying Grey's Anatomy. The ridiculous speechifying, the unlikely plot twists, the even-more-incredible medical conditions and surgical procedures, not to mention the time spent engaging each other in those rhythmic, repetitive, angst-ridden deep-and-meaningfuls when they should be attending to patients: it's all come to seem not just normal but almost pleasurable. And so it is as Grey's returns for its eighth season.

A/N: This is the final chapter, and I hope you have enjoyed this story. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for the reviews. I enjoyed reading through them. This last chapter is dedicated to my best "matey" for the idea, so Captain, this one's for you. -Poppet-
Chapter 7
"Elizabeth, there's not a lot of time, and he's asking for you," a maid told her.
She quickly ran up the stairs to her father's bedside.
"Elizabeth dear. I'm so glad to see you," he said as she planted a kiss on his cheek.
Elizabeth sat down next to her father and took his hand.
"Before you say anything, there's something you need to know. In the closet there's a box on the top shelf, there's something in there for you," he said faintly.
Elizabeth stood up and quickly found the box her father was referring to.
"Open it."
Inside was a baby blanket, baby booties, and a letter.
"What is this?" Elizabeth asked
"Your mother made those. She wrote the letter to you as well. I kept it for you. Matter of fact I've never read it."
Elizabeth looked at the writing on the envelope.
"To my beautiful daughter to be read on her wedding day."
Elizabeth brushed a tear away as she opened the letter and started reading...
My dearest Victoria,"Victoria? Who's Victoria?" Elizabeth wondered.
Governor Swann didn't miss the confused look that crossed his daughter's face. He let out a deep sigh as she continued reading...
My dearest Victoria,
As I write this I imagine you a have grown into a beautiful woman. I picture you dressed in a white wedding gown as your father gives you this letter.
My name is Kathleen, and I am your mother. Your real father passed away the year you were born, and I did my best to take care of you, but I failed miserably. I was poor, without an income, and I knew I couldn't take care of both of you. Yes, Victoria, you have a twin brother named Will.
Governor Swann lost his wife and baby girl in childbirth, and I knew he would give you a good home. So, I bundled you up with this sealed letter and left you on his doorstep. I pray that someday you'll forgive me my beautiful darling. I've watched you grow up from a distance, and saw to it that you were well taken care of. It broke my heart to leave you, but I knew your new father had a broken heart of his own. A day never passed that I didn't think of and love you. I dream of the day that I hold you in my arms again, and maybe even someday even hear you call me mother. Perhaps that will never happen, but that's always been my wish..
I love you as much now as I did the day you were born.
Please forgive me.
Your mother, Kathleen Turner
Elizabeth dropped the letter.
"Father?" She asked with tears streaming down her face.
"It's true. William Turner is your brother."
"No, he can't be," she said as she slumped to the floor.
"You will need the support of your brother in the days and weeks to come. Elizabeth, I have always loved you. Please know that you are the best thing that ever happened to me. My days after my wife died were the darkest coldest days in my life. When I didn't think I could live one more day, there you were on my doorstep. You are the one that saved my life. You, Elizabeth, are the one that gave me a reason to keep living. I thank your mother everyday for choosing my doorstep to leave you on. Elizabeth?"Governor Swan started fighting for breath and his face paled.
Elizabeth jumped up and ran over to the man that raised her.
He looked at her with tears in his eyes...
"I have to go now. I love you."
"I love you too father," she said with tears flowing down her face.
Her father smiled and took his last breath.
Elizabeth sat with her father for hours until she knew she had to go. She went down the stairs only to find Will waiting for her. She stood on the stairs staring at the man she once called her fiancé.
"He's gone," she whispered.
"I am so sorry Elizabeth," Will whispered back as he pulled her into a hug.
"Would you tell me about your family?"
"Are you sure, it might take a while."
"Yes, I'm sure."
"They say my mother wasn't right after she had to give away my sister Victoria. She would cry for hours on end. She died when I was ten. It was the day you found me."
"Will?" She interrupted.
"What would you do if you found your sister again?"
"I'd give her the biggest hug ever, and welcome her back. Mother made sure I never forgot her by speaking of her constantly."
Elizabeth walked over and gave him a hug.
"I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Victoria, your sister."

It's been less than two years since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles rocked back into cinemas and honestly I had a lot of fun with that big screen reimagining.
After scooping up almost $500 million at the global box office a sequel was fast tracked and now you must bask in all that Teengage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of the Shadows has to offer.
In a lot of ways this looks like the same film, right down to those slow motion action beats and the very similar quest for the main characters to work together. Still there are bound to be a few tweaks along the way, and fans will be looking forward to seeing how Rocksteady and Bebob turn out on the big screen - with Irish wrestler Sheamus playing the part of the Rhino-looking one.
Megan Fox is back and hopefully she's more than a damsel in distress this time around (she fainted in the last film - no one has fainted in a film since 1954) and so is Will Arnett. Newcomers include Arrow himself Stephen Amell and Tyler Perry as some kind of crazy doctor. It's all directed by Dave Green, who previously worked on music videos and the rather nice little sci-fi Earth to Echo.
Out of the Shadows releases on the 30th of May 2016.

Instead, the Cowboys are in the toilet (Let's be honest, here. This was not -entirely- unexpected.) and the Seattle Seahawks are stumbling through one of the most frustrating seasons I as a fan can remember. Whereas last season there was a couple games we could claim were robbed… and keep a straight face while arguing it. This season we're going into the final stretch at 6-5. Truth be told, I can't even SAY that the Seahawks are 6-5 without thinking that we should actually be 5-6. We can't forget about the week before the Bills handed us our asses. That's right: The game we had to luck out in order to prevail over the hapless Dolphins.
So, in less than six months after thinking this game could be some great playoff preview, we find ourselves faced with the Weenie Bowl on Monday Night Football. It's pretty damn hard to be enthusiastic about this Seattle team right now.
After countless years of hearing a follow-up question of, "Why?" or, "Are you a moron?" after answering the, "Who's your favorite team?" question, we Hawk fans finally had a product we thought we could be proud of at the beginning of the season. When's the last time even one of the talking heads predicted a Seattle Super Bowl Championship? After turning all heads in their direction before the start of the regular season, it's been looking like the Hawks merely wanted to look mediocre before a larger audience.
I now have friends who, before this season, would technically forget that Seattle had a football team coming up to me and randomly asking, "What's wrong with your team? Aren't they supposed to be… Well, good?"
It's tough to counter with "But…but we're leading the division! And… uh… we've got a winning record!" when it's so flagrantly obvious that whatever team that's been taking the field since loss number one doesn't deserve to be leading anything. It's what we're ALL thinking, I suppose; "Just what the hell is wrong with our team?" I don't know about y'all, but I personally am sick of hearing the word 'potential'. Sooner or later, someone has to start realizing their potential or… guess what -- wasn't any potential to begin with.
That's actually the most football thought I've been able to produce in days. Due to some sort of Hideous Snorting Death Plague, the majority of my thought process has been more along the lines of, "Hnnrf." and occasionally, "Pfeh." Up until a few days ago, I had been quite lucky in staving off the Hideous Snorting Death Plague. I think the entire city of San Angelo has been afflicted the past couple of months. Can't even head into a Wal-Mart without hearing every other person emitting congested yak noises. At least Chike the cat and I have finally gotten around to moving into our new base of operations in time for me to curl up in a corner and die in peace.
I don't have the luxury, though, of curling up and dying just now. Instead, I have to be in to work. Don't worry, though! Even though I work with food products whilst afflicted with the Hideous Snorting Death Plague, rest assured that I wear gloves. As I learned in Microbiology, pathogenic microorganisms will crawl -inside- latex gloves safely away from any nearby food products should you hack on them (the gloves). Also, the three-second rule is microbiologically sound.
Now I personally don't eat in restaurants, anymore, but that's merely coincidence.
But I digress from my primary point, which is that the Seahawks have been playing like overrated, overpaid wienerheads. Hawks, we're sick of hearing about just needing that one final piece, and we're tired of things being 'right around the corner'. For the past two weeks, you haven't even measured up to 'mediocre', you've exhibited unmitigated suckitude. This team is in need of either a drastic turnaround before the season is over, or a drastic reshuffle afterward.
The NEW place to fire off
your scintillating insights, inquiries, and Hideous Snorting Death Plague remedies:

Amplifier Power Specifications
Amplifier Specifications
An amplifier increases the power of the signal being fed to it by taking energy from its power supply and matching the signal but increasing its amplitude. Amplifiers use many different methods for converting these electrical signals and have been categorized into classes.
Class A/B: Greater than 50% of the input signal is amplified while the other percentage is "off". These amplifiers have a small amount of current flowing through the output transistors all the time which almost eliminates crossover distortion. Class A/B has great sound quality but is not as efficient as class D. These amps are most commonly used to drive speakers.
Class D: Also known as switching amplifiers, class D amps have output transistors that are completely turned "on" or "off". This means that when the transistors are on, there is almost no voltage across them but when they are off there is significant voltage but no current flowing through it which makes these amplifiers very efficient at the cost of sound quality. These amps are most commonly used to drive subwoofers.Other Classes: You may see classes such as GH, bD, X, FD, etc. by some manufactures. These amplifiers tend to be either class A/B, D or a hybrid of the two but with improvements to their designs that can make them more efficient or offer better sound quality.
RMS power is the amount of continuous power, measured in watts, that an amplifier produces is called RMS power. The higher the RMS figure, the louder and cleaner your music sounds.
The RMS output figure is much more accurate than the peak rating when comparing products.
A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.
When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.
The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.
- RMS Power
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio
This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.
Subwoofer Specifications
Round/Circle: This is the typical and common subwoofer design. They have a round cone and are a circle in design.
Square: These woofers are able to achieve a greater cone area in a smaller space. Because of the greater surface area, some square subwoofers will be louder than a round subwoofer of the same size.
Enclosure Specifications
Sealed - Sealed boxes are those that have no holes or vents in it. The only hole in a sealed box is where the subwoofer is installed. Smaller sealed boxes require more power than a larger sealed box. They provide a tight, accurate bass, while the larger sealed enclosures provide a "boomier" and louder bass.
Ported / Vented - Ported/Vented Enclosures provide an even boomier, louder bass, but less accurate then a small, sealed box. Ported enclosures typically require more airspace per sub and also less power output from an amplifier to perform correctly.
Bandpass - Bandpass enclosures make subwoofers perform efficiently, but loose. The bass is not as "boomy" as a ported enclosure nor as punchy as a sealed enclosure. Bandpass enclosures work well with lower to mid-level subwoofers.
Binding post terminals are a sturdier, more versatile type of speaker terminal. Because binding post terminals are are threaded, you can tighten them down against the wire or connector for a tight, clean connection. The most popular style of binding post terminals is known as a "5-way binding post". This type can accept bare wire, or any of the common speaker wire connectors. Binding posts with the option to be used with banana clips are even more versatile
Spring posts are a hybrid of the two. Instead of using a thread and "screwing" them tight, they use a spring to allow the wire to fit and tighten against the terminal.

Gay girl single dating
Gay girl single dating
We hooked up that night, and there was so much push-and-pull from her, where she would stop in the middle of kissing me and say things like "This is so weird! I've been down this road before with other "straight" girls, and it never ends well.I have two questions: 1) Should I just back away now before I get hurt again? Single Gay Female Let's deal with Question #2 first.
There's an article on Live that suggests women may have evolved over time to be more open to bisexuality as a means of obtaining the security that there will always be another pair of hands for raising their children – if a dude isn't around, another lady will do just fine.However, the evidence provided by psychologist Barry X.Kuhle, who posits this theory, seems pretty slight. That's a toughie, because there's always the possibility that for the girl in question, this is a real moment for her where she realizes that there might be a lot more to her sexuality than what she had presumed, and it's possible her mind is kind of blown right now.Of course, I don't write for a website with "science" in the URL, so what the hell do I know? But one thing's for sure – this problem does seem to arise much more frequently for lesbians than for gay men. If that's the case, she's probably feeling a little vulnerable, so ditching her now seems kind of cruel.The conventional wisdom in the gay bars I troll, however, is that men are innately attracted to the pole and the hole with the same frequency as women, but society's extraordinarily rigid confines of male sexuality prevent them from expressing this, and so they suppress it while their sisters are out there doin' it for themselves. On the other hand, you want to protect yourself, and not set yourself up to get hurt, either. I know you usually deal with gay dudes and their problems, but I wonder if you could give me some perspective on this problem I have.
I went to a party recently that was mostly gay girls, but one of the girls there was straight (she'd come with her roommate).Straight Girl and I got to talking, and we hit it off so we agreed to meet for drinks the following night.We did, and she confessed she'd never been with a girl before but was always curious.I think the best way to go about this is to communicate clearly what you're both feeling every step of the way.It's totally okay – and I encourage you – to let her know this isn't your first time being "a first time" for a girl who previously identified as straight, and therefore there's a little emotional baggage for you.Both of you should tread lightly, and be honest with each other at all times. I'm a gay dude who's mostly dated other resolutely gay dudes.
