Got an Idea of GC. Please CC

Name: Anonymous 2014-05-27 0:07

Segmenting GC:
- Partition heap into N segments;
- Give each segment a bitmap, keeping what memory cells the segment references;
- After collecting a segment, compare its resulting bitmap to the original, then free now unused objects (bits that went from 1 to 0, and which also have 0 in other segments).

Pros:
- Incremental;
- Parallelizable into N threads;
- Collected memory can be distributed across N machines (share your memory accross Internet);
- Each segment could be future partitioned into subsegments, which are collectible separately.

Cons:
- Write barrier required;
- Bitmap memory is proportional to N;
- Execution time is proportional to memory_size/N.

Only if you keep the list contiguous in memory, meaning you'll need defragment everytime you remove a list element. And in that case you might as well just use a standard array.
