An experimental study of renewal-older-first garbage collection
Generational collection has improved the efficiency of garbage collection in fast-allocating programs by focusing on collecting young garbage, but has done little to reduce the co...

Myths and realities: the performance impact of garbage collection
This paper explores and quantifies garbage collection behavior for three whole heap collectors and generational counterparts: copying semi-space, mark-sweep, and reference counti...

Allocation-phase aware thread scheduling policies to improve garbage collection performance
Past studies have shown that objects are created and then die in phases. Thus, one way to sustain good garbage collection efficiency is to have a large enough heap to allow many ...

On the Usefulness of Liveness for Garbage Collection and Leak Detection
Abstract. The effectiveness of garbage collectors and leak detectors in identifying dead objects depends on the “accuracy” of their reachability traversal. Accuracy has two ort...

On the Effectiveness of GC in Java
We study the effectiveness of garbage collection (GC) algorithms by measuring the time difference between the actual collection time of an object and the potential earliest collec...
