C# 7 and .NET Core 2.0 High Performance

Garbage collection

One of the most important features of CLR is the garbage collector. Since the .NET Core applications are managed applications, most of the garbage collection is done automatically by the CLR. The allocation of objects in the memory is efficiently done by the CLR. The CLR not only tunes the virtual memory resources from time to time, but it also reduces the fragmentation of underlying virtual memory to make it more efficient in terms of space.

When the program is run, the objects start allocating memory on the heap and each object's address is stored on the stack. This process continues until the memory reaches its maximum limit. Then the GC comes into play and starts reclaiming memory by removing the unused managed objects ...
