We introduce a new replication-based copying garbage collection technique. We have implemented one simple variation of this method to provide incremental garbage collection on stock hardware with no special operating system or virtual memory support. The performance of the prototype implementation is excellent: major garbage collection pauses are completely eliminated with only a slight increas...

We study the cost of storage management for garbage-collected programs compiled with the Standard ML of New Jersey compiler. We show that the cost of storage management is not the same as the time spent garbage collecting. For many of the programs, the time spent garbage collecting is less than the time spent doing other storage-management tasks. 1Authors’ addresses: David Tarditi, Computer Sci...

The LabVIEW virtual instrument consists of three parts: data acquisition, data test and analysis, output display. System control part is realized on the LabVIEW platform, data collection, data processing, and data recording, alarm and historical data readback function. The system uses DSl8B20 to measure temperature. The paper present design of temperature measurement and data acquisition system...

This paper provides an overview of collaborative research with the British Library, which aims to develop a concepど tual approach to the collection in the digital world, using a case study of collections for social enterprise. Based on this research, the objective of this Lively Lunch session was to facilitate discussion, using audiど ence voting and a paper survey, of three broad issues affecti...
