Garbage collection theory – Generational algorithms
Reading Time: 7 minutesAs a Java programmer, the idea of GC is not new to me. However, as long as I remember, the concept of GC in Java was tightly coupled with Java Memory Model and its generational hypothesis. It reached the point where I actually could put an equal sign between JMM and GC process. Of course,
Garbage collection theory – Allocation
Reading Time: 3 minutesUp until now, we were concentrating on two aspects of the memory management – identifying live data, and a way to free unused memory. This post will concentrate on possibly the most important thing in memory management – allocating the memory. Two types of allocation There are two simple types of allocation – sequential and

Garbage collection theory – Copying algorithm
Reading Time: 6 minutesThe last ‘main’ of the GC algorithms that I’ve mentioned in the first post, was copying algorithm. The time has come then to dedicate a separate article to it. Basics of copying Algorithms already described suffer either from their execution time length, or resulting memory fragmentation. Copying GC algorithms are trying to address these issues,
