Heap profiling for space-efficient Java
Ran Shaham, Elliot K. Kolodner, Mooly Sagiv · 2001
We present a heap-profiling tool for exploring the potential for space savings in Java programs. The output of the tool is used to direct rewriting of application source code in a way that allows more timely garbage collection (GC) of objects, thus saving space. The rewriting can also avoid allocating some objects that are never used.
