Little work has been done in garbage collection algorithms for distributed shared memory systems. Mosaic is a safe and complete garbage collection system that collects garbage in object systems that are implemented above page-based distributed shared memory systems. It is non-intrusive in its impact on application performance. Mosaic partitions the virtual address space into separately managed ...

The municipal solid waste system is a complex reverse logistic chain which comprises several optimisation problems. Although these problems are interdependent—i.e., the solution to one of restricts other—they usually solved sequentially in related literature because each computationally problem. We address two tactical planning this by means Benders decomposition approach: determining location ...

The function of a garbage collector in a computer system is to reclaim storage that is no longer in use. Developing a garbage collector for a distributed system composed of autonomous computers (nodes) connected by a communication network poses a challenging problem: optimising performance whilst achieving fault-tolerance. The paper presents the design and implementation of a reference-count ga...

We study shedding in the setting of data linkage dynamics, a simple model of computation that bears on the use of dynamic data structures in programming. Shedding is complementary to garbage collection. With shedding, each time a link to a data object is updated by a program, it is determined whether or not the link will possibly be used once again by the program, and if not the link is automat...

Persistent data structures often use tricks to achieve their performance guarantees. In these structures, pointer reachability fails as a method of determining what is and isn’t garbage. We present an extension for a garbage collector which can understand and collect a particular persistent structure called trailer arrays. Our method does not increase the time or space complexity of garbage col...

Object-oriented programming languages are being widely adopted as one of the most powerful languages due their flexibility and reusability. However, these languages suffer from memory mismanagement that could be critical especially in real-time and embedded systems. Automatic memory management through garbage collector handles this problem. Concurrent garbage collection based on sporadic or def...

In the static analysis of functional programs, pushdown flow analysis and abstract garbage collection push the boundaries of what we can learn about programs statically. This work illuminates and poses solutions to theoretical and practical challenges that stand in the way of combining the power of these techniques. Pushdown flow analysis grants unbounded yet computable polyvariance to the anal...
