Abstract
Systems and methods for utilizing memory version instructions and techniques in conjunction with garbage collection in a processor. A hardware-assisted garbage collection algorithm may be executed by a computing system to move live objects between memory regions. Special store instructions may be utilized to mark the live objects of each memory region that is about to be migrated. Mutators performing useful work may be configured to trap on a memory region which is marked for migration.
