I've upgraded a ASP.NET Core project to VS2017 and the new csproj, and there is this option:

<PropertyGroup>
    <ServerGarbageCollection>true</ServerGarbageCollection>
</PropertyGroup>

What is server garbage collection? There is no proper documentation, just a migration guide which assumes you already know what it is.

(Unless there is a formal doc, in which case please let me know.)

Summary: There is no details in the docs for much of the underlying tech, unfortunately. However @PanagiotisKanavos's link has the important bit about "server gc" here.

It toggles GC between Server (more than 1 processor) or workstation (1 processor).
