....with a garbage collector as a hybrid manager [28, 20, 13, 29] Although counting is too weak to handle certain circular structures [20, 16] garbage collection can back it up. On the other hand, successful reference counting can postpone need for garbage collection, or accelerate that collection [3]. Recovery of zero count objects is worthwhile only when the per node cost of reference counting recovery undercuts that for garbage collecting [1] The cost, however, must include the impact of synchronization in a real time or multiprocessor environment. One way to improve the performance of ....

....space, it copies the content at next, but does not install any forwarding information. Since the object is uniquely referenced, there aren t any other references to forward. Thus, every unique reference (even if just installed during a previous collection) accelerates conventional collection [3]. Scan also encounters sticky pointers to locations in from space, some of whose contents have been copied but some not yet copied into to space. The difference is determined by mark on that node. When scan finds a pointer into from space, it performs a long read (e.g. 64 bit read) of ....
