Object Coding: Strategies, Studies and Implementation

面向对象的系统表现出非常高的对象创建率， 但大多数物体都是短命的。 结果，记忆- 管理开销很大。 本项目涉及 一种专用协处理器架构， 创建和内存回收在面向对象的系统。 的 体系结构支持动态存储的位向量方法 分配和解放。 新创建的对象驻留在缓存中 这是引用计数。 预计大多数物体会死亡 在它们老化到该高速缓存之外之前， 对主内存的引用。 许多现有的计算机体系结构将 只需要对编译器进行较小的修改， 从这个协处理器。

Object-oriented systems exhibit a very high rate of object creation, but most of the objects are short-lived. As a result, memory- management overhead is significant. This project is concerned with an application-specific coprocessor architecture to speed up object creation and memory reclamation in object-oriented systems. The architecture supports a bit-vector approach to dynamic storage allocation and liberation. Newly created objects reside in a cache which is reference counted. It is expected that most objects will die before they age out of the cache, drastically reducing the number of references to main memory. Many existing computer architectures would require only minor compiler modification to incorporate and benefit from this coprocessor.
