Problem $3$: Understanding Memory Management Mechanisms

For each of the following scenarios, determine which of the garbage collection algorithms dis$-$

cussed in class $($Mark$-$and$-$Sweep, Mark$-$and$-$Compact, Stop$-$and$-$Copy, Generational Short$-$

Pause$)$ would be most suitable. Assume no other conditions beyond those provided.

$($a$)(4$ pts$)$ The majority of objects are short$-$lived, with a small portion of objects having

a longer lifespan.

$($b$)(4$ pts$)$ Objects vary greatly in size, with a significant number of them being large.

$($c$)(4$ pts$)$ The application frequently accesses a large number of objects, and reducing

pause time is crucial.

$($d$)(4$ pts$)$ Objects have a wide range of lifespans, but most are medium$-$lived.
