The performance of mobile devices directly affects billions of people worldwide. Yet, despite memory management being key to their responsiveness, energy efficiency, and cost, mobile devices are understudied in the literature. A paucity of suitable ...

On contemporary cache-coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (ccNUMA) architectures, applications with a large memory footprint suffer from the cost of the garbage collector (GC), because, as the GC scans the reference graph, it makes many remote memory ...

Large-scale multicore architectures create new challenges for garbage collectors (GCs). In particular, throughput-oriented stop-the-world algorithms demonstrate good performance with a small number of cores, but have been shown to degrade badly beyond ...

Managed Runtime Environments (MRE) are increasingly used for application servers that use large multi-core hardware. We find that the garbage collector is critical for overall performance in this setting. We explore the costs and scalability of the ...
