The Metronome technology, developed at IBM Research and now available in production, solves [the problem of realtime GC] by limiting interruptions to one millisecond and spacing them evenly throughout the application's execution.2 Memory consumption is also strictly limited and predictable, since an application can't be realtime if it starts paging or throws an out-of-memory exception.
The article is primarily about the Metronome garbage collection technology, but includes a nice introduction to garbage collection and realtime terminology as well.
