| 32 | <a href="References#Jones99">Jones99</a>.</p></div>\r | |
| 33 | <div class="paragraph"><p>MLton’s garbage collector uses copying, mark-compact, and generational\r | |
| 34 | collection, automatically switching between them at run time based on\r | |
| 35 | the amount of live data relative to the amount of RAM. The runtime\r | |
| 36 | system tries to keep the heap within RAM if at all possible.</p></div>\r | |
| 37 | <div class="paragraph"><p>MLton’s copying collector is a simple, two-space, breadth-first,\r | |
| 38 | Cheney-style collector. The design for the generational and\r | |
| 39 | mark-compact GC is based on <a href="References#Sansom91">Sansom91</a>.</p></div>\r | |
