Scavenger (V8 young-gen GC)

RU: Scavenger (V8 young-gen GC)

V8's parallel young-generation garbage collector, part of the Orinoco GC. It runs a semispace copying algorithm: live objects in From-Space are evacuated to To-Space by multiple helper threads that steal work dynamically, then the spaces are swapped. Parallelism reduces main-thread pause time compared to a single-threaded scavenge.
