This paper presents the RAM Enhanced Disk Cache Project, REDCAP, a new cache of disk blocks which reduces the read I/O time by using a small portion of the main memory. The essent...
Tracing garbage collectors traverse references from live program variables, transitively tracing out the closure of live objects. Memory accesses incurred during tracing are essen...
