▲ 7 ▼ Transaction Oriented Garbage Collection for Go
We propose a new garbage collection (GC) algorithm based on the transactional hypothesis. Put simply, the transactional hypothesis states that objects created by a transaction tend to die when the transaction ends. Our new transaction oriented collector or TOC algorithm focuses attention on these objects thus improving overall GC throughput and scalability while delaying the need to do a full heap GC.
