The Garbage Collection Handbook: The Art of Automatic Memory Management 2nd Edition
暫譯: 垃圾回收手冊：自動記憶體管理的藝術（第二版）

於1996年出版的理查德·瓊斯（Richard Jones）所著的《垃圾回收》（Garbage Collection）是自動記憶體管理領域的一本里程碑式著作。其廣受好評的續作《垃圾回收手冊：自動記憶體管理的藝術》（The Garbage Collection Handbook: The Art of Automatic Memory Management）於2012年捕捉了該領域的現狀，但隨著技術的迅速發展，這一領域再次顯著增長，促使人們需要對最新的尖端發展進行更新的回顧。本書的第二版更新了手冊，匯集了過去六十年來自動記憶體管理研究人員和開發者所收集的豐富知識。作者在一個易於理解的框架中比較了最重要的方法和尖端技術。

本書針對近期硬體和軟體進步所帶來的垃圾回收新挑戰進行探討。它探討了這些變化對高效能垃圾回收器的設計者和實現者的影響。除了簡單和傳統的演算法外，本書還涵蓋了尖端的平行、增量、並行和即時垃圾回收技術。演算法和概念通常以偽代碼和插圖的形式進行描述。

Richard Jones is Emeritus Professor of Computer Systems at the School of Computing, University of Kent, Canterbury. He received a BA in Mathematics from Oxford University in 1976. He spent a few years teaching before returning to higher education at the University of Kent, where he has remained ever since, receiving an MSc in Computer Science in 1989. In 1998, he co-founded the International Symposium on Memory Management, of which he was the inaugural Programme Chair. He has published numerous papers on garbage collection, heap visualisation and electronic publishing, and he regularly sits on the programme committees of leading international conferences. He was made an Honorary Fellow of the University of Glasgow in 2005 in recognition of his research and scholarship in dynamic memory management. He was named a Distinguished Scientist of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2006, and in 2014 made a Fellow of the British Computer Society, a Fellow of the RSA and a member of AITO. He is married, with three children, and in his spare time he cycles and sails, including racing a Dart 18 catamaran.

Antony Hosking is Professor in the School of Computing at the Australian National University. He received a BSc in Mathematical Sciences from the University of Adelaide, Australia, in 1985, and an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Waikato, New Zealand, in 1987. He continued his graduate studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, receiving a PhD in Computer Science in 1995. His work is in the area of programming language design and implementation, with specific interests in database and persistent programming languages, object-oriented database systems, dynamic memory management, compiler optimisations, and architectural support for programming languages and applications. He was named a Distinguished Scientist of the Association for Computing Machinery in 2012, a member of AITO in 2013, and is a Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He regularly serves on programme and steering committees of major conferences, mostly focused on programming language design and implementation. He is married, with five children. When the opportunity arises, he most enjoys sitting somewhere behind the bowler's arm on the first day of any Test match at the Adelaide Oval.

Eliot Moss is Professor Emeritus in the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He received a BSEE in 1975, MSEE in 1978, and PhD in Computer Science in 1981, all from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. After four years of military service, he joined the Computer Science faculty at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He works in the area of programming languages and their implementation, and has built garbage collectors since 1978. In addition to his research on automatic memory management, he is known for his work on persistent programming languages, virtual machine implementation, transactional programming and transactional memory. He worked with IBM researchers to license the JikesRVM Java virtual machine for academic research, which eventually led to its release as an open source project. In 2007 he was named a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery and in 2009 a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. In 2012 he was co-recipient of the Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing for work on transactional memory. He served for four years as Secretary of the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Programming Languages, and served on many programme and steering committees of the significant venues related to his areas of research. Ordained a priest of the Episcopal Church in 2005, he leads a congregation in addition to his full-time academic position. He is married, with two children. He enjoys listening to recorded books, movie-going and the company of cats, and has been known to play the harp.
