Postdoc: Multiprocessor Garbage Collection: A Post-Doctoral Associateship in Computer-Communications Research

9972097 Moss，J.艾略特B。马萨诸塞州阿默斯特大学博士后：多处理器垃圾收集：计算机通信研究博士后研究员Java编程语言已经将垃圾收集（gc，自动存储管理）作为一个重要的编程语言特性引入主流。 商业利益集团开始用Java构建重要的服务器应用程序，并在多处理器上运行它们。 然而，对于如何为多处理器平台构建和调优高效的垃圾收集器，人们知之甚少。 该项目建立在成功构建有用的实验原型和利用它们在垃圾收集和面向对象编程语言的实现领域产生定量和定性结果的基础上。具体来说，该项目扩展了以前设计的gc算法，gc工具包软件，持久对象存储和Java虚拟机实现，为了在多处理器和集群（共享和分布式内存）上支持Java gc（主存和持久对象），并探讨了如何在空间，时间和最小gc中断方面实现良好的gc性能。 研究结果可以帮助商业Java虚拟机供应商和服务器应用程序builders.The博士后助理被赋予在所有项目活动的重大责任，但在旨在支持和成熟的助理成为一个高技能的独立研究人员在工业或计算机未来就业的密切指导关系的背景下。

9972097 Moss, J. Eliot B. University of Massachusetts at AmherstPostdoc: Multiprocessor Garbage Collection: A Post-Doctoral Associateship inComputer-Communications Research The Java programming language has brought garbage collection (gc, automatic storage management) into the main stream as an important programming language feature. Commercial interests are starting to build significant server applications in Java, running them on multiprocessors. Yet very little is known about how to build and tune efficient garbage collectors for multiprocessor platforms. The project builds on successes in building useful experimental prototypes and exploiting them to produce quantitative and qualitative results in the areas of garbage collection and the implementation of object-oriented programming languages.Specifically, the project extends previously devised gc algorithms, gc toolkit software, a persistent object store, and a Java virtual machine implementation, to support Java gc (of both main memory and persistent objects) on multiprocessors and clusters (both shared and distributedmemory), and explores how to achieve good gc performance in terms of space, time, and minimal gc interruption. The research results could be of assistance to commercial Java virtual machine vendors and server application builders.The post-doctoral associate is given significant responsibility in all project activities, but in the context of a close mentoring relationship designed to support and mature the associate into a highly skilled independent researcher for future employment in industry or academe.
