To date, the most commonly used criterion for invoking garbage collection (GC) is based on heap usage; that is garbage collection is invoked when the heap or an area inside the he...
Parallel and concurrent garbage collectors are increasingly employed by managed runtime environments (MREs) to maintain scalability, as multi-core architectures and multi-threaded...
We present a new analysis for removing unnecessary write barriers in programs that use generational garbage collection. To our knowledge, this is the first static program analysis...
Modern transactional response-time sensitive applications have run into practical limits on the size of garbage collected heaps. The heap can only grow until GC pauses exceed the ...
