The Garbage Collection Handbook: The Art of Automatic Memory Management (Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Algorithms and Data Structures series)
The Garbage Collection Handbookis the most up-to-date, detailed, and exhaustive collation and description of the current state of the art of Garbage Collection and Automatic Memory Management available today. It is an imperative reference book for anyone working in the field, and I would consider it the textbook of reference covering GC 101 thru GC 530 course levels, if such courses were given at universities worldwide. As CTO of Azul Systems and co-creator of multiple modern concurrent collectors, Richard Jones’ previousGarbage Collectionbook was indispensable to my work over the years.The Garbage Collection Handbookhas immediately taken its place. Each of our GC engineers has a copy on their desk.—Gil Tene, Chief Technical Officer and co-founder of Azul SystemsIn a field replete with ephemera, this book, just like its predecessor, stands as a monumental work that will last for decades.—Dr. Mario Wolczko, Research Director, Oracle Labs
