This is more efficient than modifying the color on each object in the heap. The collector then transitions to sync 1. At this point no heap objects are marked, as demonstrated below: -Initial object graph +Initial object graph ### Mark The collector transitions to sync 2 and then async. At this point it marks the global variables and waits for the mutators to also transition to async: -Initial object graph +Initial object graph ### Trace The collector finds all live objects using a breadth-first search and marks them black: -Initial object graph +Initial object graph ### Sweep The collector scans the heap and frees memory used by all white objects: -Initial object graph +Initial object graph If the heap is still low on memory at this point the heap will be increased in size. Also, to ensure a complete collection, data for any terminated threads is not freed until now.
