Patent abstract
An automated memory management or garbage collection routine uses a first garbage collection routine to perform garbage collection on new objects, and a second garbage collection routine to perform garbage collection on old objects. The two garbage collection routines are operated concurrently, with each routine separately marking objects to be reclaimed. The second routine may operate in a background mode by traversing a tree of objects from a copy of memory, while the first routine may operate on actual memory.
