Shenandoah[0]. From what I've read it's contributed to openjdk by redhat. Their claims about pause times aren't quite as strong as those of Azul, but <100ms pauses for 100GB+ heaps will still be leagues ahead of most GCs.

It's probably also be less CPU-efficient than azul's, since it uses forwarding pointers instead of page table trickery. But if you have such a large heap you'll also have many cores. Here's a performance comparison to G1[1].
