Smarter garbage collection with simplifiers
We introduce a method for providing lightweight daemons, called simplifiers, that attach themselves to program data. If a data item has a simplifier, the simplifier may be run aut...

LeakSurvivor: Towards Safely Tolerating Memory Leaks for Garbage-Collected Languages
Continuous memory leaks severely hurt program performance and software availability for garbage-collected programs. This paper presents a safe method, called LeakSurvivor, to tole...

Automated verification of practical garbage collectors
Garbage collectors are notoriously hard to verify, due to their lowlevel interaction with the underlying system and the general difficulty in reasoning about reachability in graph...

Write barrier elision for concurrent garbage collectors
Concurrent garbage collectors require write barriers to preserve consistency, but these barriers impose significant direct and indirect costs. While there has been a lot of work ...
