Towards Distributed Garbage Collection in Distributed Real-Time Java

چکیده
Java’s RMI (Remote Method Invocation) offers many facilities useful for a distributed application programmer. One of them is distributed garbage collection (DGC) that removes unreachable remote objects. Unfortunately, from the point of view of distributed real-time Java applications, DGC is underspecified (i.e., it may introduce unwanted interference on real-time remote invocations). Some researchers proposed there should be a real-time version for this mechanism in distributed real-time Java. This paper proposes a mechanism to turn DGC off and a real-time distributed garbage collector (RT-DGC) based on mechanisms currently available in RMI (such as leasing, and reference and unreferenced methods).

RTZen: Highly Predictable, Real-Time Java Middleware for Distributed and Embedded Systems,
Distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) applications possess stringent quality of service (QoS) requirements, such as predictability, latency, and throughput constraints. Real-Time CORBA, an open middleware standard, allows DRE applications to allocate, schedule, and control resources to ensure predictable end-to-end QoS. The Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) has been developed to provid...

1 Why Distributed Garbage Collection Dynamically-allocated memory must eventually be reclaimed. But manual reclamation is error-prone, and if an object is de-allocated prematurely, a program that later follows a pointer to it might behave incorrectly. Instead, garbage collection (GC) automatically reclaims objects that can no longer be reached by any path of pointers. In a distributed system, a...

Currently, software engineering is becoming even more complex due to distributed computing. In this new context, portability is one of the key issues and hence a cluster-aware Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that can transparently execute Java applications in a distributed fashion on nodes of a cluster, while providing the programmer with the single system image of a classical JVM, is really desirab...
