Abstract
Automatic memory management with a generational copy collector garbage collection algorithm running on parallel threads to perform simultaneous and independent copying and scanning. An object is scanned. It is determined whether an object referenced within the slot of the object being scanned may be copied to the same generation as the scanned object. A mark may be made to indicate that the referenced object may be copied to a different generation than the scanned object. The mark defers the copying of the referenced object.
