Abstract
A computer system providing hardware states for garbage collection including a plurality of processors, an object cache operatively connected to at least one of the plurality of processors, and a warden operatively connected to the object cache, wherein the warden broadcasts a non-local command to the object cache whenever the tagged cache line is evicted and crosses the garbage collection boundary and the modified-reference bit in the tagged cache line is set.
