I just thought this would be a good topic, so.. well garbage collection algorithms are being used extensively in Operating Sytems to combat memory leakage (I believe garbage collection is also called memory capaction) Can some1 please give me several examples of how some of these algorithms would work in conserving memory..(3-5 please)
Plus, i basic definition of this is.. when the OS places all the blocked being used (what memory is being used) together, which leaves free memory as a single large whole..
