Introducing concurrency into the garbage collection process is an attractive
proposition. It improves the pause times considerably, making garbage
collection feasible for interactive and real-time systems. This report
describes the design and implementation of a concurrent collector which we
developed for Rotor, Microsoft's shared source implementation of .NET. The
concurrent collector is found to decrease the pause time by 36.24\% on an
average, while increasing the elapsed time by 1.75\%.
