Communications of the ACM, 1969•dl.acm.orgIn this paper a garbage-collection algorithm for list-processing systems which operate within
very large virtual memo, ies is described. The object of the algorithm is more the compaction
of active storage than the discovery of free storage. Because free storage is never really
exhausted, the decision to garbage collect is not easily made; therefore, various criteria of
this decision are discussed.
