Root scanning is the task of identifying references to heap objects that are stored outside of the heap itself, in global and local variables and on the execution stack. Root scann...
Dynamic storage allocation and automatic garbage collection are among the most popular features that high-level languages can offer. However, timecritical applications cannot be wr...

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...

Garbage collection relieves the programmer of the burden of managing dynamically allocated memory, by providing an automatic way to reclaim unneeded storage. This eliminates or les...
Abstract. The effectiveness of garbage collectors and leak detectors in identifying dead objects depends on the “accuracy” of their reachability traversal. Accuracy has two ort...
