This paper describes the design and the evaluation of Complementary Garbage Collector that is a fundamental algorithm for the parallel and incremental garbage collector. Our algorithm is a combination of two types of fundamental algorithms, incremental update and snapshot-at-beginning, which are complementary to each other. The algorithm has the advantages of both types: great e ciency of the g...

Garbage collectors are an important part of many modern language runtimes. Essentially all tools for developing and debugging programs using garbage collection assume the correctness of the collector, and therefore provide no means for detecting garbage collector errors. As a result it is especially important that garbage collector implementations be free of errors. This goal is even more chall...

As the fossil fuels are depleting continuously, we know that solar energy harvesting is a significant potential area for new research dimensions. Sun provides us about 1.9 x 10 8 TWh/yr on the land, of which 1.3 x 10 5 TWh]/yr energy is used. In order to make much use of solar energy on the earth, solar energy harvesting into more usable form (e.g. heat or electricity) by using solar energy col...

As real-time systems become more complex, the need for more sophisticated runtime kernel features arises. One such feature that substantially lessens the burden of the programmer is automatic memory management, or garbage collection. However, incorporating garbage collection in a real-time kernel is not an easy task. One needs to guarantee, not only that sufficient memory will be reclaimed in o...

We describe an efficient and fault-tolerant algorithm for distributed cyclic garbage collection. The algorithm imposes few requirements on the local machines and allows for flexibility in the choice of local collector and distributed acyclic garbage collector to use with it. We have emphasized reducing the number and size of network messages without sacrificing the promptness of collection thro...

Many of the current software systems rely on garbage collectors for automatic memory management. This is also the case for various software systems in real-time applications. However, a real-time application often requires an incremental working style of the underlying garbage collection, which renders the garbage collector more complex and less trustworthy. We present a formal verification of ...

While real-time garbage collection is now available in production virtual machines, the lack of generational capability means applications with high allocation rates are subject to reduced throughput and high space overheads. Since frequent allocation is often correlated with a high-level, objectoriented style of programming, this can force builders of real-time systems to compromise on softwar...

The bipolarlFET characteristics of the ZDEG-HBT (TwoDimensional Electron Gas Base p-n-p AIGaAs/GaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor) are analyzed extensively by a two-dimensional numerical simulator based on a drift-diffusion model. For bipolar operations at high collector current densities, it is confirmed that the cutoff frequency f r is determined mainly by the collector transit time of ho...

Herein, polyvinyl alcohol nanofibrous membrane was fabricated firstly by the high-curvature solid-needle electrospinning. The influence of electrode curvature (needle angle), spinning voltage, solution concentration and collector distance on nanofiber morphology systematically investigated numerically experimentally. Numerical simulation shows that electrical field increases with increase while...
