Our research is concerned with compiler-independent, tag-free garbage collection for the C ++ programming language. This paper presents a mark-and-sweep collector , and explains how it ameliorates shortcomings of a previous copy collector. The new collector, like the old, uses C ++ 's facilities for creating abstract data types to deene a tracked reference type, called roots, at the level of th...

The study analyzes an innovative concentrating solar thermal system aimed at the direct production of hot air for industrial applications. Air is heated inside linear Fresnel collectors in open to atmosphere circuit, not requiring use a primary heat transfer fluid and exchanger, with their associated cost maintenance. Matching automotive turbocharger field avoids auxiliary energy consumption pu...

Along with the prevalence of email, a number of free email managers have been developed to assist people to deal with personal and interpersonal affairs. Beside sending and receiving email, they provide a diversity of function such as memorandum and calendar. Many researchers are interested in how people communicate via email. They may have questions such as " how long does it take them to repl...

Motivated by applications in bioinformatics, we consider the word collector problem, i.e. the expected number of calls to a random weighted generator of words of length n before the full collection is obtained. The originality of this instance of the non-uniform coupon collector lies in the, potentially large, multiplicity of the words/coupons of a given probability/composition. We obtain a gen...

Solar-heated air can be used in a wide variety of applications, but it is a limited resource. Only so much sunshine strikes each square foot of the earth, and a well-built collector system will typically deliver about half of this energy to a house in the form of heat. The way this heat is used often means the difference between a useful, cost-effective system and one that never seems to perfor...

performing fast and accurate methods for modeling the electrical machines has been the subject of several studies and many authors proposed different procedures to attain this aim. beside the accuracy, the speed of the method is of great concern. on the other hand, the capability of the method to be changed according to the need is another important issue. finite element method provides relativ...

The novel characteristics of a new lateral PNM Schottky collector bipolar transistor (SCBT) on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) are explored using two-dimensional (2-D) simulation. The collector-base junction of the proposed lateral PNM transistor consists of a Schottky junction between n-base (N) and metal (M). The characteristics of this structure are compared with that of lateral PNP transistors o...

This paper describes the design and the evaluation of Complementary Garbage Collector that is a fundamental algorithm for the parallel and incremental garbage collector. Our algorithm is a combination of two types of fundamental algorithms, incremental update and snapshot-at-beginning, which are complementary to each other. The algorithm has the advantages of both types: great e ciency of the g...

Garbage collectors are an important part of many modern language runtimes. Essentially all tools for developing and debugging programs using garbage collection assume the correctness of the collector, and therefore provide no means for detecting garbage collector errors. As a result it is especially important that garbage collector implementations be free of errors. This goal is even more chall...
