# Memory Reclamation

* :scroll: [Making Lockless Synchronization Fast: Performance Implications of Memory Reclamation](http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/hart_ipdps06.pdf)
|
||||||
|
- Multicore systems are ubiquitous but modern concurrent programming
|
||||||
|
techniques still do not see wide-spread adoption. Most concurrent software
|
||||||
|
(developed in low-level languages) still relies on error-prone and unscalable
|
||||||
|
memory management techniques for correctness despite the introduction of
|
||||||
|
superior methods over 30 years ago. Safe memory reclamation allows for
|
||||||
|
performant and robust memory management that is also suitable for advanced
|
||||||
|
concurrent programming techniques such as non-blocking synchronization. If
|
||||||
|
properly used, safe memory reclamation techniques allow improved performance and
|
||||||
|
simplicity without the complexity of full-blown garbage collection. This paper
|
||||||
|
provides a terrific overview of common safe memory reclamation mechanisms and
|
||||||
|
then explores their performance implications.
