(2007) I could be wrong but I was under the impression that the four major JVM gc's all had a stop the world phase and while multi-processing is implementation specific I'm not aware of a robust pre-emptive multiprocessing model built for the JVM.

Azul doesn't. It's not a differnt GC for the hotspot VM, it's a separate VM altogether
