Deriving Residual Reference Count Garbage Collectors
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...

The Derivation of Distributed Termination Detection Algorithms from Garbage Collection Schemes
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...

Using Prefetching to Improve Reference-Counting Garbage Collectors
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...

An On-the-Fly Reference Counting Garbage Collector for Java
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 ...

Starting with Termination: A Methodology for Building Distributed Garbage Collection Algorithms
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...
