CANCELED Garbage Collection Marriott Hotel — Meeting Room 12 Richard Jones, University of Kent Eric Jul, University of Copenhagen |

Attendee Background: Participants will be experienced programmers familiar with basic garbage collection technology (for example having attended the introductory GC tutorial – although there would be some overlap). Basic knowledge of OO implementation would be useful but not essential. Presenters: Richard Jones is a Senior Lecturer and Deputy Director of the Computing Laboratory at the University of Kent. He is the prime author of the book on Garbage Collection. His interests include programming languages and their implementation, storage management and distributed systems. He is a member of the Steering Committee of the International Symposium on Memory Management and was Programme Chair for ISMM`98. He has presented several tutorials at OOPSLA and ECOOP. Eric Jul is an Associate Professor and Head of the distributed systems group at DIKU, the Dept. of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen. He is co-designer and principal implementer of the Emerald distributed object-oriented programming language. His interests include distributed, OO languages, operating systems support including distributed storage management and object-oriented design and analysis. He was Programme Chair for ECOOP`98. He has presented tutorials regularly at OOPSLA and ECOOP
This tutorial presents the issues facing modern high performance garbage collectors and examines the approaches taken by state of the art garbage collectors. Participants will gain a deeper insight into the operation of modern, high performance garbage collectors. The tutorial will enable participants to evaluate the benefits and costs of such garbage collection algorithms, to understand the implications for their code and to make informed choices between collectors.
