METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR GARBAGE COLLECTION IN A MULTITASKING ENVIRONMENT

A method for garbage collection involves allocating multiple objects in a young generation, where the objects are specific to a task, and where the young generation is specific to the task, performing a minor garbage collection, where an object of the multiple objects is promoted to a promotion area in a shared older generation, and where the promotion area is specific to the task, and freeing the promotion area when the task terminates to obtain a free promotion area without performing a major garbage collection.
