Region-based memory management for real-time Java

The paper addresses the issue of improving the performance of memory management for real time Java applications, building upon the Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) from the Real-Time Java Expert Group. In a first step, a thorough analysis of the parameters influencing the performance of memory management together with ways of improvement are presented. The implementation of a memory management solution, which is compliant with the RTSJ and integrating the proposed improvements is then sketched.
