Abstract

Controlling garbage collection operations. The method includes setting up garbage collection to collect objects that are no longer in use in a managed code environment. The method further includes receiving managed code input specifying a desired quantum within which it is desired that garbage collection not be performed. The method further includes performing a computing operation to determine the desired quantum can likely be met. The method further includes running memory operations within the quantum without running the initialized garbage collection.
