....standard RAM. Special hardware is needed within the garbage collecting memory module to quickly recognize attempts to manipulate unscanned memory and to quickly locate the beginning of an object given a pointer to any word contained within the object. The design of this hardware is discussed in [8, 9]. Most of the garbage collection effort is carried out by a dedicated microprocessor that is part of the garbage collected memory module. The internal organization of the garbage collected memory is illustrated below: Local Memory MicroProcessor GC Module Conventional System Bus RAM RAM ....
....allows mass production and distribution of the specialized garbage collection circuitry. Initial estimates of the cost of the garbage collection system indicate that for large memory regions, the special purpose hardware costs approximately one eighth of the cost of the memory that it supports [9]. ....
