Abstract :
A model of two-level memory garbage collection with reference counting object cache has been introduced. Reference counting cache together with mark-sweep heap provides a concurrent memory garbage collection method without memory leaks. Evaluation of the performance of the reference counting cache has been conducted based on CaffeineMark benchmark. We found that only a small size of cache is sufficient to reclaim memory concurrently, but a larger size is required to produce reasonable hit ratio
