A Generational Mostly-Concurrent Garbage Collector
White Papers This paper reports our experiences with a mostly-concurrent incremental garbage collector, implemented in the context of a high performance virtual machine for the Java™ programming language. The garbage collector is based on the mostly parallel...

A Comparative Evaluation Of Parallel Garbage Collector Implementations
White Papers 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.

Collecting The Garbage In The MS .NET Framework
White Papers The Microsoft .NET Framework Garbage Collector provides a high-speed memory allocation service and methods to clean released memory. Additionally one can use the Common Language Runtime (CLR) Profiler to learn how application allocates memory and...

Put Memory 'garbage' Collection To Good Use
News This article discusses some of most popular garbage collector (GC) algorithms used today in the Java and .Net virtual machines. Memory that is no longer needed, garbage memory, is collected by a garbage (memory) collector.

Improving Java Application Performance And Scalability By Reducing Garbage Collection Times And Sizing Memory
White Papers As Java technology becomes more and more pervasive in the telecommunications (telco) industry, understanding the behavior of the garbage collector becomes more important. Critics usually point to inefficient garbage collection (GC) as a reason why...

Dynamic Adaptive Pre-Tenuring
White Papers In a generational garbage collector, a pre-tenured object is one that is allocated directly in the old generation. Pre-tenuring long-lived objects reduces the number of times that they are scanned or copied during garbage collection.

Where Do Software R&D Engineers Look For Jobs?
Forum I was better paid as a hardware engineer - nearly as much as a garbage collector! UK management treats their engineering staff like garbage (as chief engineer of a computer company in the 70s, I was also the tea boy) and then complains about 'lack...

Optimizing Memory In .NET Applications
White Papers The paper describes how the .NET garbage collector works and offers a number of memory management strategies that can help developers improve the performance of their .NET applications. This white paper from Compuware details how the .NET Framework...

MSDN Webcast: .NET Framework: CLR Internals (Level 400)
White Papers The presenter shows how the CLR garbage collector knows which objects are in use and which are not, so that memory from unused objects can be reclaimed. The attendee of this webcast will learn how the Common Language Runtime (CLR) works "From soup...

Improving Java Application Performance And Scalability By Reducing Garbage Collection Times And Sizing Memory Using JDK 1.4.1
White Papers Garbage collection (GC) delays can be successfully lowered to be in milliseconds with the help of the parallel and the concurrent collector - size the young-generation to about 64 MB, and the older generation to about 500 MB.
