I am interested mostly in gathering data, so instrumentation is actually more important than efficiency. I also want to explore techniques for advancement and scavenge scheduling, to improve efficiency and to avoid disruptive pauses. Also, it would seem that big, serious programs allocating a lot of data would start to show the shortcomings of any mark-and-sweep collector. Does anybody have such programs running in KCL? Those are the ones I want to gather statistics on; others are too easy. -- Paul Paul R. Wilson Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory U. of Illin. at C. EECS Dept.
