Abstract

Superior garbage collection algorithms are needed for deterministic runtime system in complex embedded systems to explore the benefits of contemporary and conquered application programming language. Android embedded operating system is greatly used world wide as a mobile platform without denying this fact it also attracted researchers and engineers to integrate in other embedded real-time systems. It exploits Java language for embedded application development and it can also enhance a certain real time capability with the adoption of real-time support at Dalvik Virtual Machine (DVM). Need for Real-time garbage collection algorithms in embedded systems is identified by achieving new insights into the existing garbage collection algorithms through finding blemishes in it. The space based technique is used in proposed new Real-time GC algorithm for execution runtime system and Real time Garbage Collection (GC) schedulability issue is also addressed. The intuitive performance analysis result demonstrates reduction in the response time and also describes the determinism characteristic of the real time applications using proposed solution.
