We investigate garbage collection of unreachable parts of rooted graphs from a categorical point of view. First, we define this task as the right adjoint of an inclusion functor. ...
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...
Generational garbage collectors are able to achieve very small pause times by concentrating on the youngest (most recently allocated) objects when collecting, since objects have b...

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 ...
