Semi-Automatic Garbage Collection for Mobile Networks

Mobile networks pose new issues in the field of distributed garbage collection. Garbage collection must deal with volatile connections that may break remote object references unexpectedly for an unpredictable amount of time. As a result, no automatic distributed garbage collection satisfies the new hardware phenomena. A semantic-based approach called semi-automatic garbage collection is propose...

A Non-blocking Snapshot Algorithm for Distributed Garbage Collection of Mobile Active Objects

Distributed actor garbage collection differs from distributed object garbage collection in that it needs to consider in-transit message detection, unordered message reception, and actor migration. In this paper, we propose a new snapshot-based distributed actor garbage collection algorithm. The algorithm does not require First-In-First-Out or blocking communication, nor message logging. Further...

Distributed Garbage Collection Algorithms

This seminar report presents adoptions of uniprocessor garbage collection techniques which are able to operate in a new context: distributed systems. We see that their application to distributed system poses new problems and that there is currently no algorithm available solving, or even addressing, all of them. The presented algorithms are structured according to their belonging family: refere...

Empirical Studies of Distributed Garbage Collection

Garbage collection has been a necessary evil of computer languages that employ dynamic data structures. The 1990’s has seen some significant technology shifts that present new challenges for automatic garbage collection. In particular, distributed systems are providing an economical approach to parallel processing. Many distributed garbage collection algorithms have been proposed but few have b...
