For Garbage Collection (GC) to be a generally accepted means of memory management it is required to prove its efficiency. This paper presents a scheme that guarantees that an incr...
We show that for 8 real and varied C and C++ programs, several conventional dynamic storage allocators provide nearzero fragmentation, once we account for overheads due to impleme...
Mark and sweep garbage collectors (GC) are classical but still very efficient automatic memory management systems. Although challenged by other kinds of systems, such as copying c...

Stoye's one-bit reference tagging scheme can be extended to local counts of two or more via two strategies. The first, suited to pure register transactions, is a cache of ref...
