This essay presents remarkable similarities between transactional memory and garbage collection. The connections are fascinating in their own right, and they let us better underst...
Automatic memory management or garbage collection greatly simplifies the development of large systems. However, garbage collection is usually not used in real-time systems due to...
We have implemented the first copying garbage collector that permits continuous unimpeded mutator access to the original objects during copying. The garbage collector incremental...
We study the effectiveness of garbage collection (GC) algorithms by measuring the time difference between the actual collection time of an object and the potential earliest collec...
Several papers ([Appe189],[Goldberg9 1]) have recently claimed that garbage collection can be performed on untagged data in the presence of ML-style type polymorphism. They rely o...
