| Abstract: | We envision the upcoming of microcontrollers and systems-on-chip that are based on multithreaded processor kernels due to the fast context switching ability of hardware multithreading. Moreover we envision an extensive market for Java-based applications in embedded real-time systems. This paper introduces two new garbage collection algorithms that are dedicated to real-time garbage collection on a multithreaded Java microcontroller. Our garbage collector runs in a thread slot in parallel to real-time applications. We show that our algorithms require only about 5–10% of the processor time for an effective garbage collection concerning our real-time benchmarks. |
