“Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces...”

THE real-time garbage collector (RTGC) that comes as part of Sun’s Java Real-Time System is a non-blocking, non-generational, fully concurrent mark and sweep collector with no stop-world pauses. It’s also an extremely low-latency collector that operates in bounded time for all operations, and operates within a set range of priorities to help achieve predictable behavior.
