Abstract. Concurrent data structures with fine-grained synchronization are notoriously difficult to implement correctly. The difficulty of reasoning about these implementations do...
Scripting languages enjoy great popularity due their support for rapid and exploratory development. They typically have lightweight syntax, weak data privacy, dynamic typing, powe...

There are many algorithms for concurrent garbage collection, but they are complex to describe, verify, and implement. This has resulted in a poor understanding of the relationships...
