 Compaction – The garbage collection phase that defragments the heap, moves objects in
memory, remaps all affected references and frees contiguous memory regions.
 Concurrent – A type of garbage collection algorithm that where GC is done while the application
is running.
 Copying – A garbage collector that copies that performs mark/sweep/compact all at once by
copying live objects to a new area in memory.
 Dead object – An object that is no longer being referenced by the application.
 GC safepoint - A point or range in a thread’s execution where the collector can identify all the
references in the thread’s execution stack.
 Generational – Objects in memory are split between a young generation and old generation and

 Incremental – Garbage collects only a portion of the heap at a time.
 Live object – One that is still being referenced by the applicati
