A method includes traversing pointers reachable from a root node, identifying an object, determining whether the identified object has a weak property, determining, when the identified object has a weak property, whether the key object referenced by the identified weak property is traversed by the garbage collector, if the key object associated with the identified weak property is traversed by the garbage collector, queuing the value object for later traversal, otherwise, marking the key object as being watched and appending an entry in a table mapping the key objects to a list with value object pointer locations as an entry and determining whether the identified object is visited for the first time by the garbage collector.

Linear time processing of weak properties in a garbage collected environment

Various techniques are described for resource management on a computing platform. A computing platform can receive a query message that specifies an amount of a resource proposed for allocation. The computing platform can select a selected recommendation level from a plurality of recommendation levels, based on an evaluation of a request for the amount of the resource proposed for allocation. The computing platform can generate a resource allocation recommendation that includes the selected recommendation level with respect to the amount of the resource proposed for allocation. The computing platform can send the resource allocation recommendation.

In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and apparatus for autonomous object tracking. In one embodiment, a method for tracking a moving object across at least a portion of a video signal made up of a plurality of image frames includes stabilizing the video signal by processing selected portions of selected image frames, detecting at least one movement in the stabilized video signal, and computing a location of the detected movement(s).
