| Research Abstract |
In embedded systems, since application programs run for a long time or forever, memory fragmentation, which becomes higher as the applications go along, is a serious problem. In this research, we proposed a garbage collector that reduces memory fragmentation without suspending the applications for a long time. The garbage collector uses replication-based incremental compaction. The compaction reduces memory fragmentation partially by moving a part of data. In this research, we also proposed an algorithm to choose data to be moved for efficient defragmentation.
