Operating systems account for memory consumption and allow for termination at the level of individual processes. As a result, if one process consumes too much memory, it can be te...
This paper describes a scalable parallel marking technique for garbage collection that does not employ any synchronization operation. To achieve good scalability, two major design...
The world-wide-web does not support referential integrity, i.e. dangling references do exist. This can be very annoying; in particular, if a user pays for some service in the form...
Heap size has a huge impact on the performance of garbage collected applications. A heap that barely meets the application’s needs causes excessive GC overhead, while a heap tha...
