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...
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...
In this paper, we investigate the effects of using three different nursery sizing policies on overall and garbage collection performances. As part of our investigation, we modify ...
A memory leak in a garbage-collected program occurs when the program inadvertently maintains references to objects that it no longer needs. Memory leaks cause systematic heap grow...
Operating systems account for memory consumption and allow for termination at the level of individual processes. As a result, if one process consumes too much memory, it can be te...
