자바기반 내장형 시스템에서 쓰레기 객체의 명시적 자유화 방법

Abstract

As the size of embedded system software increase bigger and bigger, and it`s complexity is grower and grower, the usage of dynamic memory management scheme such collector also has been increased. Using the garbage collector, however, inherently lead us performance degradation. In order to resolve this kind of performance problem in the Java based embedded system. we introduce an explicit dynamic memory free method to the automated dynamic memory management environment. which can be performed by a programmer. In the worst case, the prosed scheme shows the same performance as the case of that only garbage collector is working, since the unclaimed garbage objects will eventually be collected later by the garbage collector. In the best case. our method is free from any runtime overhead because the applications can be implemented without any intervention of the garbage collector. Although the proposed method can be facilitated with all the existing garbage collection algorithms, it shows an outperform in the case of mark-and-sweep algorithm.
