Yes I should have the implementation completed by October by which time I will produce performance testing statistics and code to the community.
At the moment the highly undocumented nature of the Java RMI dgc interfaces is proving to be a stumbling point hence I have turned to the Harmony mailing list for expertise. Regards, - Vikram Mohan On 8/24/06, Weldon Washburn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Vikram, I believe the right place to look for MMTk is on the JikesRVM web page at jikesrvm.sourceforge.net. MMTk contains a bunch of different garbage collectors and is written in Java. Its interesting what you are discovering in distributed GC. Do you plan to do an Apache open source version of the correct algorithm? :) On 8/23/06, FaeLLe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Weldon, > > I am currently working on the DGC interface on a Java level so that it can > work on top of the JVM.
