We propose Pony-ORCA, a fully concurrent protocol for garbage collection in the actor
paradigm. It allows actors to perform garbage collection concurrently with any number of …

Long-tail latency values significantly affect the user experience and hence they are a major
concern in modern systems. However, tail latency characteristics of applications developed …

Tracing garbage collectors are widely deployed in modern programming languages. But
tracing an arbitrary heap shape incurs poor locality and may hinder scalability. In this paper …

Garbage collection is a fundamental aspect of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) memory
management, and choosing the optimal garbage collector is essential for attaining optimal …

Nowadays, the widely used NoSQL databases play a fundamental role for big data storage,
processing and analysis. However, NoSQL databases usually consume a large amount of …

Garbage collection is widely available in popular programming languages, yet it may incur
high performance overheads in applications. Prior works have proposed specialized …
