Abstract: Techniques for on-the-fly adaptation of remembered set data structures are disclosed. Operations include initiating execution of an application thread and a garbage collection process for a heap memory including a first plurality of logical partitions, wherein each logical partition of the first plurality of logical partitions is associated with a remembered set data structure. While the application thread and the garbage collection process are executing, the system determines a set of characteristics. Based on the set of characteristics meeting threshold criteria for adjusting a first remembered set data structure corresponding to a first logical partition, the system identifies a first remembered set configuration corresponding to the first remembered set data structure, creates a replacement remembered set data structure based on the first remembered set configuration, and associates the replacement remembered set data structure with the first logical partition.
