Abstract

See full text

The embodiments relate to a method for managing a garbage collection process. The method includes executing a garbage collection process on a memory block of user address space. A load instruction is run. Running the load instruction includes loading content of a storage location into a processor. The loaded content corresponds to a memory address. It is determined if the garbage collection process is being executed at the memory address. The load instruction is diverted to a process to move an object at the memory address to a location outside of the memory block in response to determining that the garbage collection process is being executed at the first memory address. The load instruction is continued in response to determining that the garbage collection process is not being executed at the memory address.
