Abstract

An adaptive garbage collection scheduler (42) in an interactive system (10) to schedule invocation of a mark and sweep garbage collection process. The adaptive garbage collection scheduler (42) determines a user impact index (I), corresponding to the effect of the garbage collection process on a user (22), and a collection urgency index (U), corresponding to how urgently the garbage collection process needs to be run. The garbage collection process is invoked by the adaptive garbage collection scheduler (42) when the collection urgency index (U) is greater than the user impact index (I).
