Abstract
A method for tracking objects in a first memory during a plurality of time intervals is provided, wherein the method comprises: updating, by one or more update threads, copying, by the one or more test threads, the one or more non-copied shadow objects to a second memory, determining, by the one or more test threads whether the step of copying the one or more non-copied shadow objects was successful, and updating, by the one or more test threads, the status variables of corresponding objects that correspond to the one or more non-copied shadow objects that were copied successfully, wherein subsequent bits of the status variables correspond to subsequent time intervals and wherein the one or more update threads and the one or more test threads operate on disjoint sets of bits of the status variables.
