Root scanning is the task of identifying references to heap objects that are stored outside of the heap itself, in global and local variables and on the execution stack. Root scann...
This paper explores and quantifies garbage collection behavior for three whole heap collectors and generational counterparts: copying semi-space, mark-sweep, and reference counti...

Garbage collection yields numerous software engineering benefits, but its quantitative impact on performance remains elusive. One can compare the cost of conservative garbage col...
Large real-time software systems such as real-time Java virtual machines often use barrier protocols, which work for a dynamically varying number of threads without using centrali...
In this report, we propose an approach to integrate a hybrid garbage collection algorithm into the current response time analysis framework for real-time systems. In our approach,...
