Java's automatic memory management is the main reason that prevents Java from being used in hard realtime environments. We present the garbage collection mechanism that is us...
From a real-time perspective, the Garbage Collector (GC) introduces unpredictable pauses that are not tolerated by real-time tasks. Real-time collectors eliminate this problem but...
Recent technologies such as the Real-Time Specification for Java promise to bring Java’s advantages to real-time systems. While these technologies have made Java more predictab...

Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
