Copying Garbage Collection Guido Tack 14. November 2001 tack@ps.uni-sb.de 1 The idea of Copying GC Two semi-spaces ( From -space and To -space) Only From-space active At GC time, copy the live nodes from From-Space to


  1. 7 Properties • Constant stack required • Time depends only on no. of live nodes • Covers cycles / sharing • Heap is compacted • Stop/start collector • Nothing to do between GCs

  11. 9 Variations(1) • Large Object Areas (possibly handled by different collector) • Areas for long living objects (only scanned, not copied) • Maintain locality by using other exploration strategies (but then stack becomes an issue)

  18. 10 Variations(2) Approximately depth-first copying(1) Modification of Cheney’s agorithm by Moon (1984) • Always start scanning on the last partially filled page in To-space • When that page is completed, continue with ordinary scan • As soon as an object is copied, start partial scan again scan partial free
