[rvm-research] Concurrent GC

[Cristian Perfumo]

Hi all,

Reading some documentation about Jikes (in fact, about the MMTk). I find this phrase: The RVM does not currently support concurrent garbage collection on http://jikesrvm.org/MMTk

However, when I look at the code, I see there is org.plan.concurrent.marksweep. So I was wondering whether the sentence is out-of-date or the code for this concurrent GC does not work properly.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cristian

MMTk does not currently have an implementation of concurrent
collection (although there is no fundamental problem preventing one
being implemented).

A limited version of concurrent GC was available in previous releases,
but has not been updated since the change to native threads and so was
removed for revision 3.1.

Concurrent GC is something that will be supported in the future, but I
can not guarantee when.

Cheers,
Daniel.
