Syncopation: generational real-time garbage collection in the metronome
Real-time garbage collection has been shown to be feasible, but for programs with high allocation rates, the utilization achievable is not sufficient for some systems. Since a hi...

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...

Age-Oriented Concurrent Garbage Collection
Abstract. Generational collectors are well known as a tool for shortening pause times incurred by garbage collection and for improving garbage collection efficiency. In this paper,...

The economics of garbage collection
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...

Overlooking roots: a framework for making nondeferred reference-counting garbage collection fast
Numerous optimizations exist for improving the performance of nondeferred reference-counting (RC) garbage collection. Their designs are ad hoc, intended to exploit different count...
