The reclaimer, or garbage collector aids the dynamic storage allocation in LISP. It periodically searches memory to locate list structures that are no longer needed. The memory cells in this garbage collector are then added to the list of available space to be used in making new list structures. Reclaimers are also used in most other list-processing languages. 2, record 1, English, - reclaimer

Une application dite «en temps réel» est [...] chargée de communiquer avec des dispositifs extérieurs à l'ordinateur [...] et doit être capable de traiter les informations au moment exact où elles arrivent. Un processus en temps réel doit donc pouvoir être activé immédiatement et prioritairement, et garder le processeur tant qu'il n'a pas fin son travail. Un système d'exploitation en temps réel est un système multitâche capable de gérer ce genre de processus. 4, record 2, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20d%27exploitation%20en%20temps%20r%C3%A9el
