Birrels Garbage Collector
- Shapiro's DGC, but simplifies programming by eliminating the tree
structure.
- Reintroduces dirty calls (synchronous).
- Clean calls are asynchronous.
Disadvantage:
- A process Q receiving an array of remote references will
send dirty calls sequentially, delaying a remote invocations by
several times the latency of the network.
