We survey basic garbage collection algorithms, and variations such as incremental and generational collection. The basic algorithms include reference counting, mark-sweep, mark-compact, copying, and treadmill collection. Incremental techniques can keep garbage collection pause times short, by interleaving small amounts of collection work with program execution. Generational schemes improve effi...

In this paper, it is shown how information obtained by static analysis can be used to annotate lazy functional programs for compiletime garbage collection. Three different methods for compile-time garbage collection are presented; compile-time garbage marking, explicit deallocation and destructive allocation.

With the rapid technological advances and increasing human population, need for more production has emerged consumption increased accordingly. As a result of this consumption, garbage been generated. Environmental pollution caused by these garbages emerges as problem that people have to overcome both in Turkey world. Many studies conducted problem. Especially today, with development autonomous ...

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...

USING CONTAMINATED GARBAGE COLLECTION AND REFERENCE COUNTING GARBAGE COLLECTION TO PROVIDE AUTOMATIC STORAGE RECLAMATION FOR REAL TIME SYSTEMS by Matthew P Hampton ADVISOR Dr Ron K Cytron May Saint Louis Missouri Language support for dynamic storage management simpli es the application programming task immensely As a result dynamic storage allocation and garbage collection have become common in...

Most existing reference-based distributed object systems include some kind of acyclic garbage collection, but fail to provide acceptable collection of cyclic garbage. Those that do provide such GC currently suuer from one or more problems: synchronous operation, the need for expensive global consensus or termination algorithms, susceptibility to communication problems, or an algorithm that does...

1 Abstract This paper describes an algorithm for cyclic distributed garbage collection and its implementation. The algorithm is an extension of reference-listing that collects cyclic garbage. It uses back-tracing instead of mark-and-sweep to eliminate the need of global synchronization. First, by using a special heuristic the algorithm chooses an object that is likely to be garbage (suspect). T...

Programs written in garbage-collected languages like Java often have large working sets and poor locality. Worse, a full garbage collection must visit all live data and is likely to touch pages that are no longer resident, triggering paging. The result is a pronounced drop in throughput and a spike in latency. We show that just a slight reduction in available memory causes the throughput of the...
