public class MS
extends StopTheWorld

This class implements the global state of a simple mark-sweep collector.

All plans make a clear distinction between global and thread-local activities, and divides global and local state into separate class hierarchies. Global activities must be synchronized, whereas no synchronization is required for thread-local activities. There is a single instance of Plan (or the appropriate sub-class), and a 1:1 mapping of PlanLocal to "kernel threads" (aka CPUs). Thus instance methods of PlanLocal allow fast, unsychronized access to functions such as allocation and collection.

The global instance defines and manages static resources (such as memory and virtual memory resources). This mapping of threads to instances is crucial to understanding the correctness and performance properties of MMTk plans.

Method Detail

collectionPhase

public void collectionPhase(short phaseId)
Perform a (global) collection phase.

Overrides:
collectionPhase in class Simple
Parameters:
phaseId - The unique id of the phase to perform.

getPagesUsed

public int getPagesUsed()
Return the number of pages reserved for use given the pending allocation. The superclass accounts for its spaces, we just augment this with the mark-sweep space's contribution.

Overrides:
getPagesUsed in class Plan
Returns:
The number of pages reserved given the pending allocation, excluding space reserved for copying.

willNeverMove

public boolean willNeverMove(ObjectReference object)
Can this object ever move. Used by the VM to make decisions about whether it needs to copy IO buffers etc.

Overrides:
willNeverMove in class Plan
Parameters:
object - The object in question
Returns:
true if it is not possible that the object will ever move.

registerSpecializedMethods

protected void registerSpecializedMethods()
Description copied from class: Plan
Register specialized methods.

Overrides:
registerSpecializedMethods in class Plan
