Parametric inference of memory requirements for garbage collected languages
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...

Efficient memory shadowing for 64-bit architectures
Shadow memory is used by dynamic program analysis tools to store metadata for tracking properties of application memory. The efficiency of mapping between application memory and s...

Concurrent, parallel, real-time garbage-collection
With the current developments in CPU implementations, it becomes obvious that ever more parallel multicore systems will be used even in embedded controllers that require real-time...

The locality of concurrent write barriers
Concurrent and incremental collectors require barriers to ensure correct synchronisation between mutator and collector. The overheads imposed by particular barriers on particular ...

Speculative parallelization using state separation and multiple value prediction
With the availability of chip multiprocessor (CMP) and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) machines, extracting thread level parallelism from a sequential program has become crucial...

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...

CETS: compiler enforced temporal safety for C
Temporal memory safety errors, such as dangling pointer dereferences and double frees, are a prevalent source of software bugs in unmanaged languages such as C. Existing schemes t...
