Performance Tuning in a Customizable Collector

An on-the-fly garbage collector does not stop the program threads to perform the collection. Instead, the collector executes in a separate thread (or process) in parallel to the program. On-the-fly collectors are useful for multi-threaded applications ...

One of the biggest disadvantages of non-moving collectors compared to moving collectors has been their limited ability to deal with memory fragmentation. In this paper, we describe two techniques to reduce fragmentation without the need for moving live ...
