Hello Weldon, I am currently working on the DGC interface on a Java level so that it can work on top of the JVM. My modification is entirely is on the Java level.
What I am working on the implementeation of a Distributed Reference Listing algorithm for RMI DGC. We have identified faults in the algorithm Sun currently uses and have explained them in the paper I mentioned before. It is called a revised version of Birrell's algorithm. Not currently worked with MMTk but perhaps you can point me towards the project page of the toolkit you are describing. I have only heard about it before not exactly ventured into it.

Vikram, It would be great if you gave more details about what you are trying to do. For example, do you need to modify the garbage collector that is internal to a standard JVM? Or will all your work be at Java API level? In terms of what is in DRLVM, the GC is written in C. I am currently working on porting MMTk to DRLVM. Let me know if MMTk is interesting to you. > > > > Yours Sincierly, > > > > - Vikram Mohan > > Msc.
