Subject: | The Future Possibility of Concurrent Garbage Collection? |
Hello, It seems Moore's law is taking us in the direction of more cores per microprocessor with less effort placed on exploring ILP. With the advent of multi-core processors, and their inevitable ubiquity, are there any plans, considerations, or ideas for a concurrent garbage collector in Ocaml? To my knowledge, Caml Light had a concurrent garbage collector under development by Xavier Leroy but was abandoned due to significant technical challenges. Prior to that, there appears to have been some academic research regarding concurrent GC (Doligez, Leroy). Thanks, Jim
