Real-Time RT application development distinguishes itself from general-purpose application development by imposing time restrictions on parts of the runtime behavior. Such restrictions are typically placed on sections of the application such as an interrupt handler, where the code responding to the interrupt must complete its work in a given time...

Profile-Guided Proactive garbage collection for Locality Optimization

Many applications written in garbage collected languages have large dynamic working sets and poor data locality. This paper presents a new system for continuously improving program data locality at run time with low overhead. The key contributions include making a case that garbage collection should be viewed as a proactive...

A Garbage-Collecting Typed Assembly Language

Typed assembly languages usually support heap allocation safely, but often rely on an external garbage collector to deallocate objects from the heap, to prevent unsafe dangling pointers. Even if the external garbage collector is provably correct, verifying the safety of the interaction between TAL programs and garbage collection is still...

An Object-Aware Memory Architecture

Despite its dominance, object-oriented computation has received scant attention from the architecture community. This paper proposes a novel memory architecture that supports objects and garbage collection GC. The architecture is co-designed with a Java Virtual Machine to improve the functionality and efficiency of heap memory management. The architecture is based...

A Comparative Evaluation of Parallel Garbage Collector Implementations

While uniprocessor garbage collection is relatively well understood, experience with collectors for large multiprocessor servers is limited and it is unknown which techniques best scale with large memories and large numbers of processors. In order to explore these issues the paper designed a modular garbage collection framework in the IBM...
