memory management - What's the difference between generational and incremental garbage collection? -
i think both (generational , incremental) different approaches make garbage collection pauses faster. differences between generational , incremental? how work? , wich 1 better real time software / produces less long pauses?
also, boehm gc of those?
a generational gc incremental, because not collect unreachable objects during cycle. conversely, incremental gc not employ generation scheme decide unreachable objects collect or not.
a generational gc divides unreachable objects different sets, according last use - age, speak. basic theory objects created, become unreachable quickly. set 'young' objects collected in stage.
an incremental gc may implemented above generational scheme, different methods can employed decide group of objects should sweeped.
one might @ this wikipedia page , further downward, more information on both gc methods.
according boehm's website, gc incremental , generational:
the collector uses mark-sweep algorithm. provides incremental , generational collection under operating systems provide right kind of virtual memory support.
as far real time environment concerned, there several academic research papers describing new , ingenious ways garbage collection:
- nonblocking real-time garbage collection
- real-time garbage collection ibm has explanation on differences.
