Quotations
25 ;;Quote: comparative study of semi-space, mark-sweek, reference counting, and generational garbage collection; direct and indirect costs of mutator, collector, L1 and L2 cache, TLB misses
25 ;;Quote: contiguous allocation important for cache performance of garbage collection; generational, copying collection is best
26 ;;Quote: generational collectors are better than whole heap collectors in almost all circumstances; lower collection time; write barrier is reasonable
26 ;;Quote: generational collectors perform similarly; use mark-sweep mature space in small heaps
26+;;Quote: generational collectors provide good spatial locality for young objects; mature objects have good temporal locality
26 ;;Quote: nursery size for generational collectors should be well above the L2 cache size
32 ;;Quote: free-list allocation has poor spatial locality; contiguous allocation for young objects is better; use free-list for mature objects
32+;;Quote: generational collectors improving relative to explicit memory management; good use of spatial locality for young objects
33 ;;Quote: reference counting is expensive, especially with cache memory
