La gestion de l'espace mémoire est donc toujours un problème d'actualité dans les systèmes informatiques. Les deux principaux reproches que l'on peut adresser aux mémoires centrales concernent leur capacité – toujours trop faible – et leur vitesse – toujours trop lente, limitant de fait les capacités de traitement de l'unité centrale. 1, record 1, French, - gestion%20de%20l%27espace%20m%C3%A9moire

... computer-science technology speaks for a particular class of strategies for dynamically but transparently reallocating computer memory...One such strategy involves periodically scanning all the data in memory and determining what is no longer accessible; useless data items are then discarded so that the memory they occupy can be recycled and used for another purpose. 2, record 3, English, - garbage%20collection

Dans le jargon information, garbage collection désigne une classe particulière de stratégies destinées à réattribuer dynamiquement la mémoire de l'ordinateur. Une de ces stratégies consiste à examiner périodiquement toutes les données présentes dans la mémoire et déterminer ce qui n'est plus accessible. Les données inutiles sont alors supprimées et l'espace mémoire qu'elles occupaient réaffectée à un autre usage. 2, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9cup%C3%A9ration%20de%20l%27espace%20m%C3%A9moire
