Java programs perform many synchronization operations on data structures. Some of these synchronizations are unnecessary; in particular, if an object is reachable only by a single ...
Abstract. Java provides a specification for a user-defined general purpose equivalence operator for objects, but collections such as Set have more stringent requirements. This in...
Abstract. We are interested in the class of systems for which the satisfaction of code dependencies is a dynamic process rather than one which is determined purely at load-time. Ex...
Long-running, heavily multi-threaded, Java server applications make stringent demands of garbage collector (GC) performance. Synchronisation of all application threads before garb...
In a generational garbage collector, a pre-tenured object is one that is allocated directly in the old generation. Pretenuring long-lived objects reduces the number of times that ...
