Kilobyte Virtual Machine Memory Management

Abstract

Java Virtual Machines use various automatic garbage collector algorithms to manage memory in the object lifecycle. However, these algorithms have some drawbacks. In order to improve embedded systems memory management, we implement a new garbage collector algorithm on Kilobyte Virtual Machine. This algorithm apply the mark-sweep and compaction of the memory garbage collection in pages most used in the recent past, and the mark-sweep garbage collection without compacting the memory in pages used the least in the near past.
