- Using the C/C++ Garbage Collection Library, libgc
- Garbage collection deals with the automatic management of dynamic memory. One can dynamically allocate and deallocate memory by using the C++ operators new and delete as well as by using the libc functions malloc and free. This paper discusses some of the runtime errors related to memory management and how...

- Real-Time Java, Part 4: Real-Time Garbage Collection
- Real-Time RT application development distinguishes itself from general-purpose application development by imposing time restrictions on parts of the runtime behavior. Such restrictions are typically placed on sections of the application such as an interrupt handler, where the code responding to the interrupt must complete its work in a given time...

- Monitor .NET application performance with the CLR Profiler
- When you notice memory issues cropping up in your .NET applications, Tony Patton advises you to turn to the freely available CLR Profiler. It allows you to take a peek under the hood of .NET applications and monitor the garbage collector heap. In the .NET Framework, memory management is...

- Profile-Guided Proactive Garbage Collection for Locality Optimization
- Many applications written in garbage collected languages have large dynamic working sets and poor data locality. This paper presents a new system for continuously improving program data locality at run time with low overhead. The key contributions include making a case that garbage collection should be viewed as a proactive...

- A Garbage-Collecting Typed Assembly Language
- Typed assembly languages usually support heap allocation safely, but often rely on an external garbage collector to deallocate objects from the heap, to prevent unsafe dangling pointers. Even if the external garbage collector is provably correct, verifying the safety of the interaction between TAL programs and garbage collection is still...

- Monitor .NET application performance with the CLR Profiler
- In the .NET Framework, memory management is supposed to be handled automatically by the system. This allows you to concentrate on the important issues of application designand development. Unfortunately, this utopia has not been completely realized asmemory issues still appear in .NET-based applications. This article examinesone tool?the CLR (Common Language...

- Tiff Inserter (exe)
- This program lets you pick a directory that contains the target files, lets you select an image to insert and gives the user the opportunity to insert the TIFF image at a specified point within the file. The GC option is to use the garbage collection function, which is useful...

- Garbage Collection in the BlackBerry Java Development Environment
- To understand proper memory management techniques, one must understand how the garbage collection system works on BlackBerry Wireless Handhelds. The garbage collection system removes unnecessary objects at key times, which enables the system to function at an optimal level. A RAM garbage collection removes unreferenced objects from RAM. A persistent...

- Garbage collection tuning in Java 5.0 is a breath of fresh air
- Memory management is a major factor that affects softwareapplication performance. More time is usually spent allocating and deallocatingmemory than performing actual data computation.While C++ offers direct control over when memory isallocated and freed up, Java attempts to abstract memory management by usinggarbage collection to reclaim memory that the program no...

- DataTable offers .NET developers a resource-friendly option
- Great technique but are there noticeable..performance benefits? Given that .NET has grabage collection built-in, even applications with thousands of classes and methods making use of DataSets' will be efficientgiven that these and any objects are destroyedby the runtime once out of execution scope.What are your thoughts on this?cheers, SteveFWhile garbage...

- A Comparative Evaluation of Parallel Garbage Collector Implementations
- 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. In order to explore these issues the paper designed a modular garbage collection framework in the IBM...

- Code optimization: Memory management in .NET, part 1
- The .NET Framework provides memory management techniques that differ from the way memory management worked in a COM-based world. The memory management in COM was through reference counting. .NET provides an automatic memory management technique that involves reference tracing. In this article, we'll take a look at the garbage collection...

Learn more about the approaches often used to add this feature to applications.Automatic memory management allows the developer to focus on application logic (e.g., payroll, solving math problems) instead of innate...

- Manage memory effectively with Java reference objects
- Ask any Java programmer to name the four best features of the Java language, and he’ll probably say something about automatic garbage collection—the process the JVM uses to detect objects that are no longer in use and reclaim their memory. Java’s garbage collection eliminates the potential for a number of...
