Hi Armin, Maciej Thanks for responding. I'm in the process of trying to determine what (if any) of the code I'm in a position to share, and I'll get back to you. Allowing hinting to the GC would be good. Even better would be a means to allow me to (transparently) allocate objects in unmanaged memory, but I would expect that to be a tall order :) Thanks, /Martin On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 12:29 PM, Armin Rigo <arigo@tunes.org> wrote:

Yes, it totally should. If your pauses are not incremental, we would like to be able to execute it. Since it's 55G, do you think you can make us an example that can run on a normal machine?
I think the request is not very clear. We do have a machine with 100GB of RAM, so that part should not be a problem. The question of Maciej can probably be rephrased as: can you give us a reproducible example? Even if the large pauses appear to occur on any example you try (which they shouldn't), please give us one such example.
Also, maybe we should have anyway a way to give the GC a hint: "now is a good time to run if you need to".
A bientôt,
Armin.
