The implementation of a new segment preserving and/or (multi-)generational copying garbage collection for a WAM and its approximation
Abstract
The implementation of previously developed generational copying garbage collection algorithms based on a novel way to preserve segments or approximate segments by pages, is described in the context of the ilProlog system. During the implementation, issues arose that were not foreseen during the introduction and more theoretical study of the principles. In particular cross page pointers and a trade off between generations and trailing were investigated. We present empirical evidence on the usefulness of the alternatives.
