Abstract
Embodiments of the invention enhance a garbage collection process running on a parallel system or distributed computing environment. Using a garbage collector in such an environment allows a more in-depth analysis to be performed than is possible on other systems. This is because the number of compute nodes present in many parallel systems, and the connections between them, allows the overhead of doing advanced analysis to be spread across the nodes and the results of that analysis to be shared among the nodes.
