Presentation on the GC

I was talking with Patrick Dussud, the Architect for the CLR's Garbage Collector today and it turns out he has a very good presentation that he does for internal groups that need to understand the philology behind how the GC really works.  This is one of those “more than you really every needed to know” kind of things. 

Of course my first through was getting that information to you folks as I am sure you are interested.  Patrick was gracious enough to let me posted it.. Enjoy!  And I do realize that plagiarizium is the highest forum of flattery, but I would like to know if you find this stuff valuable and if so why.

For something as complicated as GC, *any* resource is useful to have. Keep 'em coming!

Not a bad introduction but there are already much better articles on MSDN (sorry I've misplaced the link),. As to why these articles are useful. After reading the MSDN article on, we learnt that allocating large numbers of small short-lived objects is very cheap. Very useful we're now a lot more relaxed about this wrt effeciency in code inspections.

It gives more questions than answers! For example, there is a lack in bibliography about the real inside of GC. These slides contains references to sweep and compact phases.. but until today I was aware only of the compact one (in respect to the .NET implementation of GC). More and more is better! :-)
