Blessed GC settings for big servers
# Base settings and GC logging
-server -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch # First should be default, but we make it explicit, second pre-zeroes memory mapped pages on JVM startup -- improves runtime performance
# -Xloggc:gc-%t.log # CUSTOMIZE LOCATION HERE - $path/gc-%t.log -- the %t in the gc log file path is so we get a new file with each JVM restart
-XX:NumberOfGCLogFiles=5 -XX:+UseGCLogFileRotation -XX:GCLogFileSize=20m # Limits the number of files, logs to folder
-XX:+PrintGC -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -XX:+PrintGCCause
-XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -XX:+PrintReferenceGC -XX:+PrintAdaptiveSizePolicy # gather info on object age & reference GC time for further tuning if needed.
# G1 specific settings -- probably should be default for multi-core systems with >2 GB of heap (below that, default is probably fine)
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication

Tuning Java for minimal memory footprint
One source: http://developers.redhat.com/blog/2014/07/22/dude-wheres-my-paas-memory-tuning-javas-footprint-in-openshift-part-2/
# Set the XMX to cap your max heap, set the xms to a reasonable minimum
-Xmx384m -Xms100m
# No more than 40% of heap free, lowest GC overhead and keeps heap small - still under 0.5% GC time
seropt:
-XX:+UseSerialGC -XX:MinHeapFreeRatio=20 -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=40
# parallel version, allows up to 4% time spent on GC, generally uses heap more efficiently, but at cost of 2x the CPU USE
