Abstract
An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for compaction planning selects a source region from a set of regions to form a selected source region, initializes process data using information from the selected source region and responsive to a determination that a current destination is not NULL and not full, determines whether to atomically consume from a destination. Responsive to a determination to atomically consume from a destination, the computer-implemented process plans to evacuate into a consumed extent and updates the process data and responsive to a determination that the source region is empty, determines whether more work remains. Responsive to a determination that more work does not remain, the computer-implemented process generates a relocation table.
