Published in 1996, Richard Jones's Garbage Collection was a milestone in the area of automatic memory management. Its widely acclaimed successor, The Garbage Collection Handbook: The Art of Automatic Memory Management, captured the state of the field in 2012. Modern technology developments have made memory management more challenging, interesting and important than ever. This second edition updates the handbook, bringing together a wealth of knowledge gathered by automatic memory management researchers and developers over the past sixty years. The authors compare the most important approaches and state-of-the-art techniques in a single, accessible framework.The book addresses new challenges to garbage collection made by recent advances in hardware and software. It explores the consequences of these changes for designers and implementers of high performance garbage collectors. Along with simple and traditional algorithms, the book covers state-of-the-art parallel, incremental, concurrent and real-time garbage collection. Algorithms and concepts are often described with pseudocode and illustrations.Features of this editionProvides a complete, up-to-date, and authoritative sequel to the 1996 and 2012 booksOffers thorough coverage of parallel, concurrent, and real-time garbage collection algorithmsDiscusses in detail modern, high-performance commercial collectorsExplains some of the trickier aspects of garbage collection, including the interface to the run-time systemOver 90 more pages including new chapters on persistence and energy-aware garbage collectionBacked by a comprehensive online database of over 3,400 garbage collection-related publicationsThe adoption of garbage collection by almost all modern programming languages makes a thorough understanding of this topic essential for any programmer. This authoritative handbook gives expert insight on how different collectors work as well as the various issues currently facing garbage collectors. Armed with this knowledge, programmers can confidently select and configure the many choices of garbage collectors.http://gchandbook.org

Latin America plays an increasingly important role in the development of modern Christianity yet it has been underrepresented in current scholarship on religion and science. In this first book on the subject, contributors explore the different ways that religion and science relate to each other.

This book discusses the increase in global competitiveness which challenges the manufacturing market to integrate design and product in order to improve quality and process. The book goes on to examine digital manufacturing technologies and critiques how they are transforming every link of the manufacturing value chain.Digital Effects, Strategies, and Industry 5.0 presents many different tooling processes that digital manufacturing utilizes such as artificial intelligence, automation and robotics, additive technology, human-machine interaction, and IoT. Digital manufacturing technologies and how they can transform every link of the manufacturing value chain, from research and development, supply chain, and factory operations to marketing, sales, and service, are examined within the book. Also included is coverage of Industry 5.0, the future, and how it is already starting a trend of change processes directed towards closer cooperation between man and machine, as well as systematic prevention of waste and wasting including industrial upcycling, along with case studies.This book is aimed at professionals and students in the areas of manufacturing and processing, productivity improvement, environmental, engineering management, and information management.
