Incremental Garbage Collection of a Persistent Object Store using PMOS

PMOS is an incremental garbage collector designed specifically to reclaim space in a persistent object store. It is complete in that it will, after a finite number of invocations, reclaim all unreachable storage. PMOS imposes minimum constraints on the order of collection and offers techniques to reduce the I/O traffic induced by the collector.
