Abstract

An overview is given of a set of memory management strategies to reduce heap footprint of embedded Java applications that execute under severe memory constraints. The first contribution is a new garbage collector, referred to as the Mark-Compact-Compress (MCC) collector that allows an application to run with a heap smaller than its footprint. An important characteristic of this collector is that it compresses objects when heap compaction is not sufficient for creating space for the current allocation request.
