Abstract
Methods and systems for garbage collection are described. In some embodiments, Garbage collector threads may maximize local accesses and minimize remote access by copying Young objects and Old objects differently. When copying a Young object, a garbage collector thread may determine the lgroup of the pool that contains the object and copy the object to a pool of the same lgroup. The garbage collector thread may spread Old objects among lgroups by copying Old objects to pools of the same lgroup as the respective garbage collector thread. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.
