Abstract
Weighted Reference Counting is a low communication distributed storage reclamation scheme for loosely-couple multiprocessors. The algorithm we present herein extends weighted reference counting to allow the collection of cyclic data structures. To do so, the algorithm identifies candidate objects that may be part of cycles and performs a tricolour mark-scan on their subgraph in a lazy manner to discover whether the subgraph is still in use. The algorithm is concurrent in the sense that multiple useful computation processes and garbage collection processes can be performed simultaneously.
