Hi!
I'm curious; has any thought been given to how garbage collection will work
on a system that uses swap space (i.e. 99% of them)?
I'm in *NO* way an expert on GC (I've only started reading that bigsurv.ps
that someone mentioned), but it seems to be that it will be very hard to
to implement a garbage collector capable of performing GC on a system half
of whose virtual RAM consists of swap space. It looks to me like at least
occatoinal thrashing is unavoidable.
Is it even *possible*? Does JavaOS do it, and if so, how?
Just curious...
