This paper presents a new algorithm for distributed garbage collection and outlines its implementation within the Network Objects system. The algorithm is based on a reference list...
Abstract. Large-scale distributed computing applications require concurrent programming models that support modular and compositional software development. The actor model supports...

We consider a shared store based on distributed shared memory (DSM), supporting persistence by reachability (PBR), a very simple data sharing model for a distributed system. This ...
Garbage collection can be a performance bottleneck in large distributed, multi-threaded applications. Applications may produce millions of objects during their lifetimes and may i...
Root scanning is the task of identifying references to heap objects that are stored outside of the heap itself, in global and local variables and on the execution stack. Root scann...
