pardo@cs.washington.edu (David Keppel) lists a lot of good references, but
left out an earlier reference which suggested solutions to a lot of these
problems a long time ago. It's a good read.


@PHDTHESIS{Bis77,
AUTHOR = "Peter B. Bishop",
TITLE = "Computer Systems with a Very Large Address Space and
Garbage Collection",
SCHOOL = "Massachusetts Institute of Technology",
YEAR = 1977,

}


Basically Bishop (in 1977) said that if one thread finds an object in its
data space ("area") that is only reachable by another thread then that
object is migrated to the other thread's area.
