Abstract: this paper describes a modified form of Reference Count garbage collection which removes the need for synchronisation, and gives greater locality of store accessing. This makes it attractive for parallel machines, but does not overcome the problem of reclaiming circular structures. The solution adopted for the Flagship machine is to implement the modified Reference Count scheme, and also implement a secondary Mark-Scan collector to remove circular structures (which are rarely created in this...
