Abstract

Abstract: This paper describes a scheme for garbage collection suitable for hard real-time applications. The approach supports both periodic high-priority processes and low-priority processes. Garbage collection work is done exclusively during execution of low-priority processes. A prototype garbage collector has been implemented for a C++ real-time kernel. The results confirms that high-priority processes can be guaranteed sub-millisecond response times and meet right deadlines.
