I don’t think there are any zero-pause garbage collectors. But generally speaking a low-pause collector like CMS will do the job.
The problems with pauses and pause reduction are as follows:
A zero-pause (or almost zero-pause) collection regime significantly increases overheads for normal program execution. This is particularly true with multithreaded languages like Java.
Schemes that use a dedicated thread or threads to do garbage collection can get swamped if the application generates too much garbage.
Any GC scheme will give you poor performance if the application’s memory usage patterns are too “lumpy” and/or you don’t have enough physical and virtual memory.
