  JockBio: Mark Prior Biography
But Mark will be the first to admit that he'd be a sitting duck on the mound if it weren't for all the tutoring he received as a teenager—and a work ethic away from the field that borders on the fanatic.
Mark was magnificent, silencing Stanford—literally and figuratively—in a 2-1 masterpiece.
Mark had trouble going much past the seventh because his workload was often too burdensome in the early innings.

 Release Heap (CEERLHP) API   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
All storage allocated in the marked heap since the corresponding mark operation is released.
The heap identifier of the heap to be released is inferred from the mark address.
Mark and release operations treat the heap in a fashion similar to a stack.

 15.5 Array Implementation and Sorting With Heaps
In the tree implementation of the heap, both binary tree pointers and linear pointers were employed so as to diversify the traversability of the tree.
Swap it with the last item, mark it as "sorted" and sift the new root down the smaller branch (but not into the sorted part) until it is again a proper child.
Dequeing is accomplished by serving from the top (root) of the heap, then promoting the highest priority of the two descendents of the root, repeating recursively until a leaf node is reached, and then deleting the leaf node using the portion heap delete function that follows a find.

 Improving Java Application Performance and Scalability by Reducing Garbage Collection Times and Sizing Memory
The heap was divided into two generations, a young generation that used two semi-spaces and a copying collector, and an old generation that used a mark-compact or mark-sweep collector.
The bitmaps are used to scan the heap and mark live objects concurrently, in a "marking phase." Once the marking is complete, the unmarked objects are deallocated in a concurrent "sweeping phase." The collector does most of its work concurrently, suspending application execution only briefly.
Marking, in a nutshell, is the process of tagging each object that can still be reached [1], so that it can be preserved when unmarked objects are collected.

 A Survey of Garbage Collection Techniques
The algorithm traverses through the whole heap, marks all the live objects, and then "sweeps" all the unmarked "garbage" back to the main memory.
During the sweep phase, the heap can be scanned from bottom up and put the unmarked objects, or the garbage, back into the free memory pool.
In terms of GC cost, it is less than that of "Mark and Sweep" for its workload is proportional to the number of the live objects instead of the entire memory space.

 Heap of Fish Java Applet - an Interactive Illustration of Garbage Collection
Heap of Fish has five modes, which can be selected via radio buttons at the bottom left of the applet.
The compact heap mode allows you to slide heap objects so that they are side by side at one end of the heap, leaving all free memory as one large contiguous block at the other end of the heap.
During the mark phase, the fish objects on the heap are traversed depth-first starting from the local variables.

The motivation for compacting garbage collection is that to compact an individual generation, one does not need to reserve a semi-space of equal size to the entire heap to perform a full collection, in the event that a full collection occurs, and so greatly reduces memory usage without much if any cost to performance.
Drawbacks to this mean very poor compaction efficiency when the heap is full (very little room for forwarding entries), unless a configurable section of the heap is reserved for forwarding purposes at all times, which adds tuning complexity, but on the other hand allows the amount of memory wasted to be tuned.
Another way to implement this is just to allocate a fixed size chunk of memory from a mark sweep generation, or just allocate an entire empty mark-sweep generation and use this for allocation purposes.

 An Introduction to Garbage Collection
The objects that are left will all have their mark bits set the same way, so you can consider yourself to have "cleared" their mark bits just by switching your definition of which value means "marked" and which means "not marked." So mark-sweep garbage collection takes two passes.
At the end of the pass, all the live objects are gathered at one end of the heap and the rest of the heap is available for new objects.
Otherwise, you have to trace through every object on the heap with every garbage collection pass, which means the only time you save is the actual copying time, a small fraction of the time you can save if you donít have to trace through the objects in other generations.

The heap increment is the amount of memory Kaffe will request from the operating system to add to the heap it manages if it decides to postpone a collection.
However, the costs of marking only depends on the amount of live data, which is roughly equivalent to the amount of long-lived data.
Possible candidates for such factors are the time elapsed since the start of the program, the time it takes to mark the heap, the time it takes to sweep freed objects, the length of the finalizer list, and the phase of the moon.

 WIESS Paper
A garbage collector defines the liveness of heap objects by their reachability, starting from a working set of global and local references: an object is live only when there is some path that reaches it; on the other hand, an object is not live when no path can be found that reaches the object.
The traversal phase (marking) of the collector is very sensitive to outside changes of the objects graph brought by pointer operations.
Unfortunately the stack-space needed for marking the heap is proportional to the depth of the graph: When the heap grows too much, the amount of memory available to the traversal decreases accordingly, thus potentially inhibiting the completion of the marking phase.

 Fine-tuning Java garbage collection performance
The size of the heap varies, based on the specified or default heap minimum and maximum sizes, and the usage of the heap.
Holes or fragments in the heap are removed by moving the live objects together in the heap.
This is heap thrashing, and is caused by a heap that's barely large enough to avoid expansion but not large enough to satisfy future allocation failures.

 Java Heap Size Issues
In general, the two biggest risks regarding increasing the heap size are 1) increasing the duration of single-threaded garbage collection, and 2) outstripping physical RAM (forcing your JVM to use virtual memory--filesystem paging).
I will do the needful.As of now my plan is to increment the heap size from 256 and see the number of collections as well as pause times.The setting which gives me a balanced mix of this is gonna be my production parameters.
The first one describes the memory model for Java/AIX applications and does indicate that the maximum allowed heap size (-mx setting for the Java runtime) is 1GB.

 Scottish Amateur Championship: Heap Makes Mark
In the 36-hole final, over a mist-shrouded course overlooking the North Sea, Heap led all the way against Mark Loftus from Cowglen from the moment he collected his second birdie of the morning round at the third hole.
Even though I was seven up at that point I knew that Mark would come out and try to hit all the flags.
A birdie at the 12th, his 30th hole of the match, increased the lead to six and when he was just 10 feet from the hole in three at the 550-yd next and Loftus lipped out for a four the match was conceded.

The heap as a whole is not entirely ``ours." After heap expansion(s), the heap can contain {\em holes}, unusable space, that has not been allocated by \fgc\ and is not at its disposal, therefore.
If the heap is not empty, i.e., if expansion has taken place at least once, we determine the amount of pages by which the heap has to be increased.
The new heap layout has to be described, i.e., the various pointers, to the beginning or end of the heap, the page-info table, or to free segments have to be updated.

 22C:116, Homework 8 Solutions, Fall 1998
The first test for resemblance is simple -- does the candidate for a tag contain the expected constants (either marked or not marked) in the garbage collection field.
If this field is a word, and if the values selected to represent marked and not marked are distinctive, this test will rarely pass except when a real boundary tag is found.
This would require that an auxiliary index data structure be maintained to support this search, but the cost of maintaining this auxiliary index is almost certainly less than the cost of the linear search used in the first alternative used above, and the resulting solution would be formally correct.

 Slobodan Celenkovic: Object Count Impact on GC Performance
