We present a strategy to derive an efficient reference count garbage collector for any applicative program by only modifying it on the source code level. The key to the approach is...
It is shown that the terminationdetection problem for distributed computations can be modeled as an instance of the garbage collection problem. Consequently, algorithms for the te...
Reference counting is a classical garbage collection method. Recently, a series of papers have extended the basic method to drastically reduce its notorious overhead and extend the...
Reference counting is not naturally suitable for running on multiprocessors. The update of pointers and reference counts requires atomic and synchronized operations. We present a ...
We propose an effective methodology in which a distributed garbage collector may be derived from a distributed termination algorithm and a centralized garbage collector in a manne...
