Abstract

We introduce the concept of the age of a cell to cyclic reference counting. Experiments show that young cells tend to die young and old cells tend to remain alive until the very end of computation. Age information increases the likelihood of running mark-scan on garbage cells and detects the existence of cycles during the mark phase, yielding a more efficient scan phase.
