ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for assisting garbage collection process within a Java virtual machine are disclosed. A virtual object heap and a physical object heap are provided within the Java virtual machine, with the virtual object heap considerably larger than the physical object heap. Objects from Java applications are allocated within the virtual object heap. Each address of the allocated objects within the virtual object heap is translated into an address of a location within the physical object heap. Garbage collection is performed in the virtual object heap only when a total number of objects within the virtual object heap has reached a predetermined threshold.
