Abstract
Methods, computer program products, and systems for managing memory in a computer system in which memory locations in use at any given time are represented as a set of memory objects in a first object graph. The first object graph includes a system root object associated by references to each of the memory objects. A method includes creating a second root object for the memory so as to form a second object graph for the memory. The method also includes, in response to the dereferencing of a first object from the first object graph, associating the dereferenced first object with the second object graph so that the second object graph includes at least one dereferenced object.
