Linked Weak Reference Arrays
Andrés Valloud · 2015
The present work describes a challenging, real-life finalization scenario that applies combined scalability and resource utilization pressure. Neither weak reference arrays nor ephemerons satisfactorily address the performance-critical demands. Confronting these existing limitations requires a new strategy. The proposal is a hybrid weak arrayed container with properties from both weak reference arrays and ephemerons. This approach relies on support from a memory manager allowing dynamic slot reference strength.
