Hi Shubhra,
Very nice, detailed article. It explains the standard GC methods that the
V8 uses. I've also skimmed
What I'd like to add is a little bit of wisdom I've picked up at the
MLOC-JS.com conference in Budapest this February. Ben Titzer from Google
Chrome division was explaining a little bit of this, how does GC work in
V8, and he's shared a great tip:
create as many objects as you can and just discard them.
They're putting a lot of effort into new-gen optimization - it is a lot
smaller but a lot faster. When your objects get promoted to tenured
generation space, then it's a lot more work for V8 to manage them + the
space size itself is bigger, all of which adds a bit overhead.
So what he has said is not to be afraid to just create as many objects as
you need and just keep discarding that.
I guess that translates to "create as many small local scoped vars as you
need, and V8 will take care of it all".
Or perhaps I've misunderstood it all.
