: Weak References constitute an elegant mechanism for an application to interact with its garbage collector. In most of its typical uses, weak references are used through weak tabl...
Modern generational garbage collectors look for garbage among the young objects, because they have high mortality; however, these objects include the very youngest objects, which ...

This paper introduces GC assertions, a system interface that programmers can use to check for errors, such as data structure invariant violations, and to diagnose performance prob...
We document the design and implementation of a “production” incremental garbage collector for GHC 6.2. It builds on our earlier work (Non-stop Haskell) that exploited GHC’s ...

This paper explores and quantifies garbage collection behavior for three whole heap collectors and generational counterparts: copying semi-space, mark-sweep, and reference counti...
