Automatic heap sizing: taking real memory into account
Heap size has a huge impact on the performance of garbage collected applications. A heap that barely meets the application’s needs causes excessive GC overhead, while a heap tha...

Memory accounting without partitions
Operating systems account for memory consumption and allow for termination at the level of individual processes. As a result, if one process consumes too much memory, it can be te...

Write barrier elision for concurrent garbage collectors
Concurrent garbage collectors require write barriers to preserve consistency, but these barriers impose significant direct and indirect costs. While there has been a lot of work ...

Dynamic object sampling for pretenuring
Many state-of-the-art garbage collectors are generational, collecting the young nursery objects more frequently than old objects. These collectors perform well because young objec...

Experience with safe manual memory-management in cyclone
The goal of the Cyclone project is to investigate type safety for low-level languages such as C. Our hardest challenge has been providing programmers control over memory managemen...

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 ...
