Abstract

In the computer science community, the technique of garbage collection [5] is an automatic process of memory recycling, which refers to those objects in the memory no longer referenced by programs are called garbage and should be thrown away. A garbage collector determines which objects are garbage and makes the heap space occupied by such garbage available again for the subsequent new objects. Garbage collection plays an important role in Java’s security strategy, however, it adds a large overhead that can deteriorate the program performances. From related studies which are summarized in [5], a garbage collector spends between 25 and 40 percent of execution time of programs for its work in general, and delays caused by such garbage collection are obtrusive.
