This paper shows that Appel-style garbage collectors often make suboptimal decisions both in terms of when and how to collect. We argue that garbage collection should be done when ...
To date, the most commonly used criterion for invoking garbage collection (GC) is based on heap usage; that is garbage collection is invoked when the heap or an area inside the he...
Long-running, heavily multi-threaded, Java server applications make stringent demands of garbage collector (GC) performance. Synchronisation of all application threads before garb...
