Quantifying the performance of garbage collection vs. explicit memory management
Garbage collection yields numerous software engineering benefits, but its quantitative impact on performance remains elusive. One can compare the cost of conservative garbage col...

The Compressor: concurrent, incremental, and parallel compaction
The widely used Mark-and-Sweep garbage collector has a drawback in that it does not move objects during collection. As a result, large long-running realistic applications, such as...

Allocation-phase aware thread scheduling policies to improve garbage collection performance
Past studies have shown that objects are created and then die in phases. Thus, one way to sustain good garbage collection efficiency is to have a large enough heap to allow many ...

Hierarchical real-time garbage collection
Memory management is a critical issue for correctness and performance in real-time embedded systems. Recent work on real-time garbage collectors has shown that it is possible to p...
