Concurrent collection
Concurrent in a garbage collection context refers to performing garbage collection work concurrently with the application (mutator). For example, on an 8 core system, a garbage collector might keep two background threads that do garbage collection work while the application is running. This allows significant amounts of work to be done without incurring an application pause, usually at some cost of throughput and implementation complexity (for the garbage collector implementor).
