Abstract: We present an algorithm that detects cycles of garbage in reference-based distributed systems. It is derived from Hughes' algorithm, in a simplified form that makes far fewer assumptions about the system. A local garbage collector marks incoming and outgoing references with timestamps that are propagated asynchronously between spaces. A central site computes the minimum reachable timestamp, allowing stale references to be identified and deleted. The coexistence of non-participating spaces, and... (Update)

...of free cycles has always been a challenge in distributed systems. We already designed and implemented an unexpensive detector [LFPS97, LFPS98] for partitionned systems, based on timestamps propagation. Here, we present a new algorithm, for large scale networks(such as the...

...data structures. Other algorithms may be combined with ours in order to collect cycles, such as Le Fessant, Piumarta, and Shapiro s [20], Rodrigues and Jones [32] or Lang, Queinnec and Piquer s [19] The latter seems to be particularly appropriate because it also relies...
