Description: We plan to develop a fully concurrent GC that takes advantage of the HTM implementation in the Intel CPUs. We have already done some work in this direction, exploiting the HTM facilities of UniNE’s newly bought Intel Haswell machine. The goal is to completely parallelize the collection by reserving a small subset of the cores for that purpose. This GC will be added to the hotspot Java virtual machine, which is arguably the most popular managed runtime environment.
