| Abstract | Generational collectors are well known as a tool for shortening pause times incurred by garbage collection and for improving garbage collection efficiency. In this paper, we investigate how to best use generations with on-the-fly collectors. On-the-fly collectors run concurrently with the program threads and induce very short program pauses. Thus, the motivation for incorporating generations is focused at improving the throughput; pauses do not matter, since they are already very short. We propose a new collection approach, denoted age-oriented collection, for exploiting the generational (weak) hypothesis to obtain better efficiency. We then instantiate this approach with reference counting, and obtain a highly efficient and non-obtrusive on-the-fly collector. Fi-nally, an implementation is provided demonstrating how the age-oriented collector outperforms both the non-generational and the generational collectors ’ efficiency. |
