Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management Rafael D Lins, Richard Jones
Publisher: Wiley

Java (and dominating majority of other modern languages) features automatic memory management aka garbage collection. Old space is still collected by one thread. We need so, we write atomic in front of the operation name. In the latter case, new causes the class' constructor to be called automatically. So the garbage collector algorithm already needs to be clever about what it's doing. The last example with circular reference To ensure fast object allocation, short garbage collection pauses, and no memory fragmentation V8 employs a stop- the-world, generational, accurate, garbage collector. The CLR comes with a garbage collector (GC) which is a great thing. As a consequence GC prevents the problems that were (and still . The GC has been around for many years and we accepted it as I am going to state and the single and the most important thing: GC provides automatic dynamic memory management. This is a special mode of parallel scavenge collector in which it can dynamically adjust configuration of young space to adapt for an application. This means that V8: stops program execution when . Once instance of object becomes Parallel scavenge GC mode is using parallel implementation of young collection algorithm. Now we are prepared to define the most basic algorithms used for garbage collection.
