ABSTRACT:
A method includes executing an application in an execution environment. The application is allocated a plurality of memory blocks in a memory during execution. The method also includes executing a deterministic garbage collection process. The garbage collection process is capable of reclaiming at least one of the memory blocks in the memory from the application so that the at least one reclaimed memory block can be reallocated.
