Software prefetching for mark-sweep garbage collection: hardware analysis and software redesign
Tracing garbage collectors traverse references from live program variables, transitively tracing out the closure of live objects. Memory accesses incurred during tracing are essen...

On the Usefulness of Liveness for Garbage Collection and Leak Detection
Abstract. The effectiveness of garbage collectors and leak detectors in identifying dead objects depends on the “accuracy” of their reachability traversal. Accuracy has two ort...
