- Additional information
- This paper is significant because it describes the first fully concurrent, parallel copying Garbage Collector for a full Java Virtual Machine. It is the first collector able to manage reference types without stopping the world, and the first to use model checking to verify critical components. Evaluation shows our open source implementation offers soft real-time applications sub-500 microsecond response times for all but those with extreme allocation rates.
