Abstract
A method of automatic memory management on a group of servers, the group of servers operably coupled to a coordinating program. The method comprises a first server of the group of servers performing garbage collection, the coordinating program performing an analysis on the group of servers, and, based on the analysis, the coordinating program determining a feasibility of having a second server performing garbage collection during a time when the first server is performing garbage collection without degrading a service provided by the group of servers. The method further comprises, responsive to the coordinating program determining that the second server can perform garbage collection during the time that the first server is performing garbage collection without degrading the service provided by the group of servers, the coordinating program commanding the second server to perform garbage collection when the first server is also performing garbage collection.
