Nondeterministic pauses in traditional garbage collection (GC) have inhibited Java technology from being a suitable environment for real-time (RT) development. Metronome GC -- part of IBM WebSphere Real Time -- provides deterministic GC behavior that, when combined with other features, enables developers to write hard RT applications in the Java language. The authors describe the approach that Metronome uses for deterministic GC, technical issues involved in developing Metronome, and the tools and facilities available for tuning GC.
Most any journalism professor, upon mention of Wikipedia, will immediately launch into a rant about how the massively collaborative online encyclopedia can't be trusted. It can, you see, be edited and altered by absolutely anyone at any moment.
But how much less trustworthy is the site for breaking news than the plethora of blogs and other online news sources?
