Creating lots of objects also has the side effect of generating garbage collection. This is a special mode of parallel scavenge collector in which it can dynamically adjust configuration of young space to adapt for an application. Java (and dominating majority of other modern languages) features automatic memory management aka garbage collection. Garbage Collection Algorithms For Automatic Dynamic Memory Management - Richard Jones. Emoticon:cat In my post about ShedSkin a couple of days ago I said that I was unsure how ShedSkin handled memory management and whether it has any sort of garbage collection. Nevertheless, all of the commonly used JVMs have garbage collectors, and most garbage collectors use similar algorithms to manage their memory and perform collection operations. Automatic reference counting and disposal of objects being proposed would make programming easier in some situations, and make ARC-enabled objects more compatible with interfaces and dynamic arrays. This article assumes you're familiar with C and C++. I love Richter's "CLR via C#" book, and am looking for something similar that covers boxing, generics, class loading, garbage collection, etc. Garbage Collectionâ€"Part 2: Automatic Memory Management in the Microsoft . Garbage Collection: Automatic Memory Management in the Microsoft .NET Framework. But there is no need to I am not too familiar with the technical details of garbage collection, but I would like to express a few preliminary thoughts of a general nature about manual versus automatic memory management. Automatic garbage collection is the feature of dynamic languages which most reduces programmer headaches. Of course depending on the implementation it can lead to less memory efficiency than hand coded C or C++. Fundamentals of OOP and Data Structures in Java - Richard Wiener. Nor does it specify how a garbage collector should work. Old space is still collected by one thread. ShedSkin Part II: Garbage Collection and Memory Management. SUMMARY The first part of this two-part article explained how the garbage collection algorithm works, how resources can clean up properly when the garbage collector decides to free a resource's memory, and how to force an object to clean up .. Once instance of object becomes Parallel scavenge GC mode is using parallel implementation of young collection algorithm. Oh, and since Greg mentioned "Inside the VM" (the free online chapters look fluffy to me, as Amazon feedback also states), if you were interested in that level I'd start with the classic book "Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management" instead.
