Abstract

The article provides information on an approach used by the programming language JavaScript engine V8 in the Chrome internet browser to schedule garbage-collection pauses when Chrome is idle. It details how this approach can reduce user-visable dropped frames, or jank, on real-world websites and result in fewer dropped frames and memory consumption.
