WebLogic Real Time provides lightweight, front-office infrastructure for low latency, event-driven applications. For companies in highly competitive environments where performance is key and every millisecond counts, WebLogic Real Time provides the first Java-based real-time computing infrastructure. For example, for certain types of applications, particularly in the Telecom and Finance industries, stringent requirements are placed on transaction latency. When these applications are written in Java, the unpredictable pause times caused by garbage collection can have a profound and potentially harmful affect on this latency. For this reason, WebLogic Real Time's proprietary JRockit JVM introduces "deterministic" garbage collection, a dynamic garbage collection priority that ensures extremely short pause times and limits the total number of those pauses within a prescribed window. Such short pauses can greatly lessen the lessen the impact of the deterministic garbage collection when compared to running a normal garbage collection.
