A bibliography on garbage collection and related topics
Nandakumar Sankaran · ACM SIGPLAN Notices · 1994
This paper lists references to literature on garbage collection and related topics .The bibliography is broadly classified into six sections namely, Parallel and Distributed Collection, Real-Time Collection, Generational Collection, Mark -Sweep-Compact Collection and Reference counting and Cros s References .Classifying the papers was a hard task so th e following heuristic was employed -If a literature qualifie d for entry in more than one section, enter in the earliest occuring section .The entries within each section are sorte d by the year and then by the author's names within eac h year .The author has copies of the references marked wit h a 4' and are available for copying if they are hard to obtain .Cross references have been set up separately in the final section .These are typically conference proceedings, books o r workshops from which more than one paper was listed i n the preceeding sections .The aim is to avoid repeating th e same information in more than one entry.
