Abstract: Parallel multicore systems are widely used not only in high performance servers, but also in low-end devices such as embedded controllers. When garbage collection is used in these systems, it becomes very important to decrease the overhead of garbage collection. This paper described a new parallel copying garbage collector based on LISP2 algorithm. It was implemented by paralleling four garbage collection steps respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the efficiency of garbage collection.
