Garbage-Collection

• Memory Allocation and Garbage Collection: How Programs Manage Memory · 2025-02-20

  A deep dive into how programming languages allocate, track, and reclaim memory. Understand malloc internals, garbage collection algorithms, and the trade-offs that shape runtime performance.

• Garbage Collection Algorithms: From Mark-and-Sweep to ZGC · 2022-11-22

  A comprehensive exploration of garbage collection algorithms, from classic mark-and-sweep to modern concurrent collectors like G1, Shenandoah, and ZGC. Learn how automatic memory management works and the trade-offs that shape collector design.

• Renewal Theory for Computer Science: The Renewal Equation, Key Renewal Theorem, and Applications in Cache Analysis and Failure Recovery · 2022-02-12

  A rigorous journey through renewal theory—the mathematics of recurring events—from the renewal equation and key renewal theorem to applications in garbage collection, cache replacement, and fault-tolerant system analysis.

• Region-Based Memory Management: Tofte & Talpin's Region Inference, the ML Kit, Safety Proofs, and the Relationship to Rust's Lifetimes · 2020-12-01

  A deep exploration of region-based memory management — how Tofte and Talpin's region inference eliminates garbage collection while preserving memory safety, and how their ideas echo through Rust's ownership and borrowing system.

• Garbage Collection Advanced: Incremental, Concurrent, Snapshot-at-the-Beginning, and Pauseless Collectors from Azul C4 to ZGC Colored Pointers · 2020-10-31

  A deep exploration of advanced garbage collection algorithms that eliminate stop-the-world pauses — incremental marking, concurrent collection, the snapshot-at-the-beginning barrier, and the pauseless collectors that make Java viable for low-latency applications.
