 // The Parallel collector is a stop-the-world garbage collector that
 // does parts of the collection using parallel threads.  The collection includes
-// the tenured generation and the young generation.  The permanent generation is
-// collected at the same time as the other two generations but the permanent
-// generation is collect by a single GC thread.  The permanent generation is
-// collected serially because of the requirement that during the processing of a
-// klass AAA, any objects reference by AAA must already have been processed.
-// This requirement is enforced by a left (lower address) to right (higher
-// address) sliding compaction.
+// the tenured generation and the young generation.
 //
 // There are four phases of the collection.
 //
 //      - marking phase
 //      - summary phase
