Real-time GC

[Dirk Remans]

Hi,

Can somebody help me with theory and practice of automatic garbage
collection. The greatest problem is that for some programs, the GC takes
some time.

Thx

Hello Dirk,

You can use GC.Collect and GC.AddMemmoryPressure to tune when GC should start
works.
But, I guess you can't change the cost of GC gens, because when GC starts
collect garbage it freezes all threads - u can't interupt this process.
Everything you can do is to change the GC gen threshold - you need to use
C++ and CLR SDK - IGC* interfaces

What the reasont to bother about cost of GC? Gen0 takes up to 10ms, get1
takes 10-30ms - it's rather acceptably
