Published in 1996, Richard Jones's Garbage Collection was a
milestone in the area of automatic memory management. The field has
grown considerably since then, sparking a need for an updated look
at the latest state-of-the-art developments. The Garbage Collection
Handbook: The Art of Automatic Memory Management brings together a
wealth of knowledge gathered by automatic memory management
researchers and developers over the past fifty years. The authors
compare the most important approaches and state-of-the-art
techniques in a single, accessible framework. The book addresses
new challenges to garbage collection made by recent advances in
hardware and software. It explores the consequences of these
changes for designers and implementers of high performance garbage
collectors. Along with simple and traditional algorithms, the book
covers parallel, incremental, concurrent, and real-time garbage
collection. Algorithms and concepts are often described with
pseudocode and illustrations. The nearly universal adoption of
garbage collection by modern programming languages makes a thorough
understanding of this topic essential for any programmer. This
authoritative handbook gives expert insight on how different
collectors work as well as the various issues currently facing
garbage collectors. Armed with this knowledge, programmers can
confidently select and configure the many choices of garbage
collectors. Web ResourceThe book's online bibliographic database at
www.gchandbook.org includes over 2,500 garbage collection-related
publications. Continually updated, it contains abstracts for some
entries and URLs or DOIs for most of the electronically available
ones. The database can be searched online or downloaded as BibTeX,
PostScript, or PDF. E-bookThis edition enhances the print version
with copious clickable links to algorithms, figures, original
papers and definitions of technical terms. In addition, each index
entry links back to where it was mentioned in the text, and each
entry in the bibliography includes links back to where it was
cited.
