Constructing correct concurrent garbage collection algorithms is notoriously hard. Numerous such algorithms have been proposed, implemented, and deployed – and yet the relations...
This paper argues that economic theory can improve our understanding of memory management. We introduce the allocation curve, as an analogue of the demand curve from microeconomic...

: The memory management of distributed objects, when done manually, is an error-prone task. It leads to memory leaks and dangling references, causing applications to fail. Avoiding...
Mark and sweep garbage collectors (GC) are classical but still very efficient automatic memory management systems. Although challenged by other kinds of systems, such as copying c...

The accurate prediction of program's memory requirements is a critical component in software development. Existing heap space analyses either do not take deallocation into ac...
