Ben Gamari demonstrates and explains the design, trade-offs, and performance of GHC's latency-oriented non-moving garbage collector.
icfp20.sigplan.org/details/haskellsymp-2020-papers/5/A-Low-L… GHC 8.10.1 offers a new latency-oriented garbage collector to complement the existing throughput-oriented copying collector. This demonstration discusses the pros and cons of the latency-optimized GC design, briefly discusses the technical trade-offs made by the design, and describes the sorts of application for which the collector is suitable. We include a brief quantitative evaluation on a typical large-heap server workload.Why it's here
