A Garbage Collector for a Large Distributed Address Space,

Abstract

An on the fly garbage collector for a distributed block structured address space is described. The time taken to recover reasonable amounts of garbage is reduced by recursively structuring the distributed system. This makes is practical to consider a distributed computer system with a single address space. (Author)
