Very low power pipelines using significance compression
Data, addresses, and instructions are compressed by maintaining only significant bytes with two or three extension bits appended to indicate the significant byte positions. This s...

Compact Garbage Collection Tables
Garbage collection tables for finding pointers on the stack can be represented in 20-25% of the space previously reported. Live pointer information is often the same at many call ...

Cycles to Recycle: Garbage Collection on the IA-64
The IA-64, Intel's 64-bit instruction set architecture, exhibits a number of interesting architectural features. Here we consider those features as they relate to supporting ...

On the Type Accuracy of Garbage Collection
We describe a novel approach to obtaining type-accurate information for garbage collection in a hardware and language independent way. Our approach uses a run-time analysis to pro...

On the Effectiveness of GC in Java
We study the effectiveness of garbage collection (GC) algorithms by measuring the time difference between the actual collection time of an object and the potential earliest collec...

Dynamic Adaptive Pre-Tenuring
In a generational garbage collector, a pre-tenured object is one that is allocated directly in the old generation. Pretenuring long-lived objects reduces the number of times that ...

The Case for Profile-Directed Selection of Garbage Collectors
Many garbage-collected systems use a single garbage collection algorithm across all applications. It has long been known that this can produce poor performance on applications for...

Implementing an On-the-Fly Garbage Collector for Java
Java uses garbage collection (GC) for the automatic reclamation of computer memory no longer required by a running application. GC implementations for Java Virtual Machines (JVM) ...

Conservative Garbage Collection for General Memory Allocators
This paper explains a technique that integrates conservative garbage collection on top of general memory allocators. This is possible by using two data structures named malloc-tab...
