Abstract: Techniques for managing object pools within computer storage are disclosed. In some embodiments, a runtime environment determines, for a respective object pool allocated in volatile or non-volatile storage of a computing system, whether a new object has been added to the respective object pool within a threshold timeframe. Responsive to determining that a new object has not been added to the respective object pool within the threshold timeframe, the runtime environment removes a subset of one or more objects from the respective object pool. In some embodiments, the runtime environment monitors a set of one or more garbage collection metrics. Responsive to determining that the set of one or more garbage collection metrics have satisfied one or more thresholds, the runtime environment identifies and removes idle objects from at least one object pool.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product that convert a real number from a floating point representation to a character string. Mantissa bits are extracted from the floating-point representation of a value into an integer format. The mantissa bits of the integer format may be shifted left by a number of positions that is equal to a base 2 exponent of a first representation of the value. Prior to converting the value, the floating-point representation of the value can be divided by 2n, where n is the number of the mantissa bits in the floating-point representation of the value. A set of operations can then be performed to convert a result of the division to a number greater than or equal to 1.0 and less than 10.0. The set of operations may include multiplication operations and/or retrieving a constant from a lookup table.
