Garbage collectors perform two functions: live-object detection and dead-object reclamation. In this paper, we present a new technique for live-object detection based on run-time type reconstruction for a strongly-typed, polymorphic language. This scheme uses compile-time type information together with the run-time tree of activation frames to determine the exact type of every object participat...

We present a new algorithm for garbage collection of the term stack in David H. D. Warren's abstract Prolog machine (WAM). The algorithm exploits the possibilities of using a large address space, with special attention paid to virtual memory behaviour. The time required for the algorithm depends linearly on the size of the areas in which garbage is collected. Pseudo-code is given for the whole ...

This essay analyzes A.R. Ammons Garbage (1993) through the lens of Waste Studies by focusing on interactions between material and metaphorical uses waste, scrutinizing complex trope dump-ziggurat, paying special attention to neglected figure waste collector or garbage worker. In 1990s, when published his long poem, were becoming pivotal tropes in American poetry. While deals with inescapable pr...

C Project Description Programming languages that rely on garbage collection are becoming ubiquitous. Java and C# are especially popular. Both languages provide numerous software engineering advantages over languages like C and C++. The advantages of garbage collection include safety from accidental memory overwrites, protection from security violations, and the automatic prevention of space lea...

The complexity of systems for automatic control and other safety-critical applications grows rapidly. Computer software represents an increasing part of the complexity. As larger systems are developed, we need to find scalable techniques to manage the complexity in order to guarantee high product quality. Memory management is a key quality factor for these systems. Automatic memory management, ...
