There are many ways to perform garbage collection. The method we shall examine here is called stop-and-copy. The basic idea is to divide memory into two halves: "working memory" and "free memory."

This idea was invented and first implemented by Minsky. It was further developed by Fenichel and Yochelson (1969) ... Later, Baker (1978) developed a "real-time" version of the method, which does not require the computation to stop during garbage collection.
