| Abstract | Parallel and concurrent garbage collectors are increasingly employed by managed runtime environments (MREs) to maintain scalability, as multi-core architectures and multi-threaded applications become pervasive. Moreover, state-of-the-art MREs commonly implement compaction to eliminate heap fragmentation and enable fast linear object allocation. Our empirical analysis of object demographics reveals that unreachable objects in the heap tend to form clusters large enough to be effectively managed at the granularity of virtual memory pages. Even though processes can manipulate the mapping of the virtual address space through the standard operating system (OS) interface on most platforms, extant parallel/concurrent compactors do not do so to exploit this clustering behavior and instead achieve compaction by performing, relatively expensive, object moving and pointer adjustment. We introduce the Mapping Collector (MC), which leverages virtual memory operations to reclaim and consolidate free space without moving objects and updating pointers. MC is a nearly-single-phase compactor that is simpler and more efficient than previously reported compactors that comprise two to four phases. Through effective MRE-OS coordination, MC maintains the simplicity of a non-moving collector while providing efficient parallel and concurrent compaction. We implement both stop-the-world and concurrent MC in a generational garbage collection framework within the open-source HotSpot Java Virtual Machine. Our experimental evaluation using a multiprocessor indicates that MC significantly increases throughput and scalability as well as reduces pause times, relative to state-of-the-art, parallel and concurrent compactors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
