Atomic Incremental Garbage Collection and Recovery for a Large Stable Heap
Summary: Introduces an incremental, atomic garbage collector for a large stable heap with a uniform storage model. Coordinated with recovery to ensure safe object movement and updates, with failure-resilient recovery whose time is independent of heap size on stock hardware.
