Dynamic vertical memory scalability for OpenJDK cloud applications

Abstract

The cloud is an increasingly popular platform to deploy applications as it lets cloud users to provide resources to their applications as needed. Furthermore, cloud providers are now starting to offer a "pay-as-you-use" model in which users are only charged for the resources that are really used instead of paying for a statically sized instance. This new model allows cloud users to save money, and cloud providers to better utilize their hardware.
