Eliminating Cycles in Weak Tables
: 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...

Age-Based Garbage Collection
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 ...

GC assertions: using the garbage collector to check heap properties
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...

Exploring the barrier to entry: incremental generational garbage collection for Haskell
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 ...

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