Abstract
Programming in Java is attractive for its maintainability and reliability, but much work is to be performed to apply it into the real-time software development. We try to address the two main issues, thread scheduling and garbage collection, with real-time concerns. Besides, the extra memory requirement caused by the introduction of garbage collection in systems is carefully concerned. As a result, a concurrent garbage collector that combines incremental collection and real-time scheduling is figured out and implemented in a standard JVM, which plays a key role in our future real-time JVM.
