  • Patent number: 7814130
    Abstract: A method, system, and program for efficient parallel bitwise sweeps of larger objects during garbage collection are provided. During a bitwise sweep, a helper thread scans a mark vector looking for a consecutive sequence of unmarked bits of a sufficient length following a marked bit. Once a consecutive sequence of unmarked bits of a sufficient length following a marked bit is detected, the helper thread fetches the size of a marked object corresponding to the marked bit. If the size of the marked object exceeds a size represented by the consecutive sequence of unmarked bits, the remainder of the bits representing the marked object are skipped, such that once a marked object is identified as potentially exceeding an object fetch threshold the helper thread efficiently skips the remainder of the bits represents the marked object and continues scanning for a number of consecutive zeroes indicating free space.

  • Patent number: 7461220
    Abstract: A garbage collector predicts future allocation requirements and then distributes free items to multiple subpool free lists and a TLH free list during the sweep phase according to the future allocation requirements. The sizes of subpools and number of free items in subpools are predicted as the most likely to match future allocation requests. Once a subpool free list is filled with the number of free items needed according to the future allocation requirements, any additional free items designated for the subpool free list can be divided into multiple TLH sized free items and placed on the TLH free list. Allocation threads are enabled to acquire free items from the TLH free list and to replenish a current TLH without acquiring heap lock.
