We investigate reference counting in the context of a multithreaded architecture by exploiting two observations: (1) reference-counting can be performed by a transformed program s...
This paper presents a new algorithm for distributed garbage collection and outlines its implementation within the Network Objects system. The algorithm is based on a reference list...
Concurrent and incremental collectors require barriers to ensure correct synchronisation between mutator and collector. The overheads imposed by particular barriers on particular ...
