Title: Metronome: IBM's Real-Time Garbage Collector

Abstract: I will be presenting some work from IBM Research that I ran across during my time on the IBM Java VM team. I will give some background on different past approaches to real-time GC design in general and real-time Java in particular, and then present the advances made by IBM's "Metronome" GC, along with an explanation of why this problem is important.
