: Weak References constitute an elegant mechanism for an application to interact with its garbage collector. In most of its typical uses, weak references are used through weak tabl...
The widely used Mark-and-Sweep garbage collector has a drawback in that it does not move objects during collection. As a result, large long-running realistic applications, such as...
Parallel and concurrent garbage collectors are increasingly employed by managed runtime environments (MREs) to maintain scalability, as multi-core architectures and multi-threaded...
As multithreaded server applications and runtime systems prevail, garbage collection is becoming an essential feature to support high performance systems. The fundamental issue of...
The growth in complexity of modern systems makes it increasingly difficult to extract high-performance. The software stacks for such systems typically consist of multiple layers a...
