TL;DR: This paper recommends benchmarking selection and evaluation methodologies, and introduces the DaCapo benchmarks, a set of open source, client-side Java benchmarks that improve over SPEC Java in a variety of ways, including more complex code, richer object behaviors, and more demanding memory system requirements.

TL;DR: The consequences of the authors' collective inattention to methodology on innovation are explored, recommendations for addressing this problem in one domain are made, and guidelines for other domains are provided.

TL;DR: Stopless is the first collector that provides real-time responsiveness while preserving lock-freedom, supporting atomic operations, controlling fragmentation by compaction, and supporting modern parallel platforms.

TL;DR: This paper evaluates the two widely used zero initialization designs, showing that they make different tradeoffs to achieve very similar performance, and inspires three better designs: bulk zeroing with cache-bypassing (non-temporal) instructions to reduce the direct and indirect zeroing costs simultaneously.

TL;DR: This work comes closer to the best of both worlds by adding novel compiler and runtime support for compiler inserted frees to a garbage-collected system and evaluates free() variations for free-list and bump-pointer allocators.
