🗑️Garbage collection algorithms are used in various programming languages, including Java, Golang, and Python, for efficient memory management.
💡The first step in garbage collection is garbage identification, where dead objects in memory are identified.
🛠️The tricolor algorithm, with three colors (black, gray, and white), is commonly used to determine the liveliness of objects in memory.
⚡The generation hypothesis suggests that younger objects tend to die more frequently, while older objects tend to persist.
⏰Concurrent compaction is a garbage collection technique that reduces pause times and improves application latency by compacting objects in parallel.
