stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
We present a strategy to derive an efficient reference count garbage collector for any applicative program by only modifying it on the source code level. The key to the approach is...
Abstract. Automatic storage management is important in highly parallel programming environments where large numbers of objects and processes are being constantly created and discar...

Past studies have shown that objects are created and then die in phases. Thus, one way to sustain good garbage collection efficiency is to have a large enough heap to allow many ...
Garbage collection can be a performance bottleneck in large distributed, multi-threaded applications. Applications may produce millions of objects during their lifetimes and may i...
