While the design of garbage collection algorithms has come of age, the analysis of these algorithms is still in its infancy. Current analyses are limited to merely documenting costs of individual collector executions; conclusive results, measuring across entire programs, require a theoretical foundation from which proofs can be offered. A theoretical foundation also allows abstract examination ...

ÐIn this paper, we address the problem of garbage collection in a single-failure fault-tolerant home-based lazy release consistency (HLRC) distributed shared-memory (DSM) system based on independent checkpointing and logging. Our solution uses laziness in garbage collection and exploits consistency constraints of the HLRC memory model for low overhead and scalability. We prove safe bounds on th...

Many techniques have been devised for garbage collecting main memory heaps for programming languages, and there has more recently been progress on distributed garbage collection, for sets of long-lived processes in distributed systems. Little attention has been paid to garbage collecting large persistent stores, however. A persistent store is essentially a shared heap that outlives the executio...

BACKGROUND In Brazil, the incidence of dengue greatly increased in the last two decades and there are several factors impeding the control of the disease. The present study focused on describing the space-time evolution of dengue in Brazil from 2001 to 2012 and analyzing the relationship of the reported cases with socio-demographic and environmental factors. METHODS The analytic units used in...

background: we aimed to extract the histogram features for text analysis and, to classify the types of bio medical waste (bmw) for garbage disposal and management. methods: the given bmw was preprocessed by using the median filtering technique that efficiently reduced the noise in the image. after that, the histogram features of the filtered image were extracted with the help of proposed modifi...

The ARM, "The C++ Programming Language (2nd edition)", and "The Design and Evolution of C++" all mention that automatic garbage collection of C++ is possible, but that an implementation is not required to provide a garbage collector. This is a proposal to make this explicit in the standard and to specify a couple of details of what it means to collect garbage. The proposal is for clarification ...
