Concurrent garbage collectors are notoriously difficult to implement correctly. Previous approaches to the issue of producing correct collectors have mainly been based on posit-and...
Parallel and concurrent garbage collectors are increasingly employed by managed runtime environments (MREs) to maintain scalability, as multi-core architectures and multi-threaded...
Abstract. This case study applies techniques of formal program development by specification refinement and composition to the problem of concurrent garbage collection. The speci...
There are many algorithms for concurrent garbage collection, but they are complex to describe, verify, and implement. This has resulted in a poor understanding of the relationships...

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 ...
