Published in 1996, Richard Jones's Garbage Collection was a milestone book in the area of
automatic memory management. Its widely acclaimed successor, The Garbage Collection …

Page-based virtual memory improves programmer productivity, security, and memory
utilization, but incurs performance overheads due to costly page table walks after TLB …

Most “Big Data” systems are written in managed languages, such as Java, C#, or Scala.
These systems suffer from severe memory problems due to the massive volume of objects …

Data races indicate serious concurrency bugs such as order, atomicity, and sequential
consistency violations. Races are difficult to find and fix, often manifesting only after …

Modern C++ servers have memory footprints that vary widely over time, causing persistent
heap fragmentation of up to 2x from long-lived objects allocated during peak memory usage …

The past decade has witnessed the increasing demands on data-driven business
intelligence that led to the proliferation of data-intensive applications. A managed object …

C4, the Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector, an updated generational form of the
Pauseless GC Algorithm [7], is introduced and described, along with details of its …

On the hardware side, asymmetric multicore processors present software with the challenge
and opportunity of optimizing in two dimensions: performance and power. Asymmetric …

To achieve short pauses, state-of-the-art concurrent copying collectors such as C4,
Shenandoah, and ZGC use substantially more CPU cycles and memory than simpler …

Emerging Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technologies offer high capacity and energy
efficiency compared to DRAM, but suffer from limited write endurance and longer latencies …
