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...
