Garbage collection considerably increases programmer productivity and software quality. However, it is difficult to implement garbage collection both efficiently and suitably fo...
From a real-time perspective, the Garbage Collector (GC) introduces unpredictable pauses that are not tolerated by real-time tasks. Real-time collectors eliminate this problem but...
Java's automatic memory management is the main reason that prevents Java from being used in hard realtime environments. We present the garbage collection mechanism that is us...
