Abstract :
A method of distributed garbage collection using reference counting has been developed previously by D.I. Bevan (1987). This method is correct but has one severe drawback: the time overhead caused by the use of indirection cells. The authors describe an alternative: the reference weight table method. It is shown that this method does not suffer from as much time overhead and offers general improvements
