Systems that store objects at a large number of sites require fault-tolerant and timely garbage collection. A popular technique is to trace each site independently using inter-sit...
We propose an effective methodology in which a distributed garbage collector may be derived from a distributed termination algorithm and a centralized garbage collector in a manne...

The pervasiveness of multiprocessor and multicore hardware and the rising level of available parallelism are radically changing the computing landscape. Can software deal with tom...
—We investigate methods to improve the performance of algorithms for automatic storage reclamation of object databases. These algorithms are based on a technique called partition...

From a real-time perspective, the Garbage Collector (GC) introduces unpredictable pauses that are not tolerated by real-time tasks. Real-time collectors eliminate this problem but...
