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...

Run-Time Support for Optimizations Based on Escape Analysis
The JavaTM programming language does not allow the programmer to influence memory management. An object is usually allocated on the heap and deallocated by the garbage collector ...
