Low latency  2. High Throughput  3. Efficient resources usage (CPU and memory) Typical stages involved in the GC are, 1. Mark (Tracing) - the objects are tree represented and from the application root reachable nodes are painted (LIVE) and unreachable (NON-LIVE) are marked for GC. 2. Sweep - Nonlive objects cleared from the heap memory  3. C
