Book excerpt: In fact, the distributed collector could be used without a local collector; in that case, the programmer would insert explicit dispose commands to release an object. The algorithm was designed and implemented as part of the Modula-3 network objects system, but it should be suitable for a wide range of applications. It tolerates communication and process failure, and can reclaim the space for objects held by a crashed process. The algorithm balances functionality, performance, and fault-tolerance in a way that makes it highly practical to use in implementing distributed systems."
