Myths and realities: the performance impact of garbage collection
This paper explores and quantifies garbage collection behavior for three whole heap collectors and generational counterparts: copying semi-space, mark-sweep, and reference counti...

Quantifying the performance of garbage collection vs. explicit memory management
Garbage collection yields numerous software engineering benefits, but its quantitative impact on performance remains elusive. One can compare the cost of conservative garbage col...

Age-Oriented Concurrent Garbage Collection
Abstract. Generational collectors are well known as a tool for shortening pause times incurred by garbage collection and for improving garbage collection efficiency. In this paper,...

Allocation-phase aware thread scheduling policies to improve garbage collection performance
Past studies have shown that objects are created and then die in phases. Thus, one way to sustain good garbage collection efficiency is to have a large enough heap to allow many ...
