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...

Garbage-producing and efficient programming languages such as Haskell, Lisp or ML have traditionally not been used for generating individual samples in realtime. The reason is a lack of garbage collector fast and predictably enough to make these languages viable alternatives to C and C++ for high performing audio DSP. This paper shows how conservative garbage collectors can be used efficiently ...

 We are working on scheduling of garbage collector as a concurrent thread for time-constrained applications in Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). We have implemented an incremental garbage collector with fine-grained write barrier in MONO, an opensource implementation of CLI. Our collector is based on existing conservative garbage collector of Boehm et al. By conducting benchmarking experim...

This paper will present the cache performance analysis of Chronological Garbage Collection algorithm used in the LVM system. The LVM is a new Logic Virtual Machine for Prolog. It adopts one stack policy for all dynamic memory requirements and cooperates with an efficient garbage collection algorithm, the Chronological Garbage Collection, to recuperate space not as deliberate garbage collection ...

Generational garbage collection is an established method for creating eecient garbage collectors. Even a simple implementation where all nodes that survive one garbage collection are tenured, i.e., moved to an old generation , works well in strict languages. In lazy languages, however, such an implementation can create severe temporary space leaks. The temporary space leaks appear in programs t...

Gardens is a system which supports parallel computation across networks of workstations. This is achieved by over decomposing a program into more tasks than there are processors. Tasks have separate heaps which comprise partitions (segments) of a global address space. Gardens supports a modern object oriented programming language which requires garbage collection. Furthermore since tasks may be...

In algorithms based on reference counting, a garbage-collection decision has to be made whenever a pointer x→ y is about to be destroyed. At this time, the node y may become dead even if y’s reference count is not zero. This is because y may belong to a piece of cyclic garbage. Some aggressive collection algorithms will put y on the list of potential garbage regardless of y’s reference count. L...

Garbage collection prevents security vulnerabilities that can otherwise be caused by incorrect manual memory management at the cost of increased runtime and space overheads. In some domains, the runtime overhead and unpredictable, lengthy pauses for garbage collection could be deemed unacceptable. Decades of research have proposed incremental, concurrent, and generational garbage collection as ...
