Description
ZGC is available in Java 11 and can handle heaps up to 16TB. @kcondon is interested because it attempts to deal with eventual memory fragmentation due to reclamation for faster allocation on an ongoing basis.
Quick start: -XX:+UseZGC -Xmx<size> -Xlog:gc

Research direction
No repository file or test is named. Start by reviewing the Java 11 runtime configuration and the supplied ZGC startup flags, then consult the linked ZGC documentation. Done should be a defined way to run Dataverse with ZGC and a recorded assessment of its effect on memory fragmentation and allocation.
