Grids are becoming more and more dynamic, running parallel applications on large scale and heterogeneous resources. Explicitly stopping a whole distributed application is becoming increasingly difficult. In that context, there is a strong need to free resources a soon as they become useless, leading to automatic termination, using distributed garbage collecting techniques. We propose in this pa...

Functional languages offer a number of advantages over their imperative counterparts. However, a substantial amount of the time spent on processing functional programs is due to the large amount of storage management which must be performed. Two apparent reasons for this are that the programmer is prevented from including explicit storage management operations in programs which have a purely fu...

Years of life lost (YLLs) are estimated based on mortality and cause of death (CoD); therefore, it is necessary to accurately calculate CoD to estimate the burden of disease. The garbage code algorithm was developed by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study to redistribute inaccurate CoD and enhance the validity of CoD estimation. This study aimed to estimate cause-specific mortality rates an...

Many garbage collectors on parallel computers are written in sequential languages, therefore thay are not portable across machines with different communication primitives. Moreover, the description of garbage collectors on distributed memory machines, which use asynchronous messages, is complex. We implemented a garbage collector for parallel object-oriented language Schematic by using Schemati...

Garbage Collection (GC) is a process of automatic memory reclamation from the objects that are no longer required by the mutator. The execution time of the application and memory reclaimed by garbage collector are important factors that influence the selection of a specific garbage collector while selecting a specific one. The current research paper selects a suitable garbage collector on the b...

more garbage than any other nationover 160 million tons of garbage each year or more than 1,200 pounds per person. EPA expects this to increase to more than 2,300 pounds of garbage per person each year within the next 1 2 years. Whether it is recycled, buried or burned, the fate of this refuse has major impacts on public health, the environment and the economy. United States citizens generate W...

We examine basic garbage collection algorithms used in three commercially popular object oriented languages: Java, Smalltalk, and C++. We briefly discuss garbage collection in general, and the methods of garbage collection used in specific implementations of these languages.

This paper proposes methods to pre-process questions in the postings before a QA system can find answers in a discussion group in the Internet. Pre-processing includes garbage text removal and question segmentation. Garbage keywords are collected and different length thresholds are assigned to them for garbage text identification. Interrogative forms and question types are used to segment quest...

Increasingly many modern programming languages are turning to automatic reclamation, or garbage collection, to free up memory objects that are no longer needed. While there are many techniques known for detecting and collecting garbage, what remains a less well-known topic is how differing techniques perform in different application domains; a garbage collector that works well for a word proces...
