Abstract
A method for executing distributed processes on garbage collecting virtual machines. More particularly, garbage collection is delivered as a function of certain timing variables such as the time until a process will require its next garbage collection cycle, process hibernation time, and the actual total garbage collection time per process. Advantageously, distributed application programs are executed on garbage collecting virtual machines without any adverse processing impact resulting from the garbage collection process.
