A Language-Independent Garbage Collector Toolkit, Richard L. Hudson
A Language-Independent Garbage Collector Toolkit, Richard L. Hudson
Computer Science Department Faculty Publication Series
We describe a memory management toolkit for language implementors. It offers efficient and flexible generation scavenging garbage collection. In addition to providing a core of languageindependent algorithms and data structures, the toolkit includes auxiliary components that ease implementation of garbage collection for programming languages. We have detailed designs for Smalltalk and Modula-3 and are confident the toolkit can be used with a wide variety of languages. The toolkit approach is itself novel, and our design includes a number of additional innovations in flexibility, efficiency, accuracy, and cooperation between the compiler and the collector.
Two Kinds Of Training Information For Evaluation Function Learning, Paul Utgoff
Two Kinds Of Training Information For Evaluation Function Learning, Paul Utgoff
Computer Science Department Faculty Publication Series
This paper identifies two fundamentally different kinds of training information for learning search control in terms of an evaluation function. Each kind of training information suggests its own set of methods for learning an evaluation function. The paper shows that one can integrate the methods and learn simultaneously from both kinds of information.
