Re: How To Avoids CLR GC operation

You're up against a target I don't think you're going to hit based on advice
from a newsgroup.

Go out, write some prototype code, and get it running. When it doesn't work,
keep trying various approaches until you get something you like.

I suspect you're going to get the compact framework, running on a mobile
device, to work as well as you're hoping. I would like to be wrong, but
based on my work with the Compact Framework, you've got an uphill battle on
your hands. I suspect GC will be one of your concerns, but will be far from
the last...

hello;

thank you for your response.

I am trying to use .met MF to issue motor control commands
commands can't be delayed for GC action.
Since GC is the system in .net MF it is the one who use/steals cycles from
the cpu.
By using static we can help continuous stream of commands without any
un-timed GC latency.

yes; .net MF/XP are not real time system and only windows CE/Linux are
real
time OS.,
However, .net MF CLR is the OS to be concern on the system.

my question now would be:

1- is there any specific technique for CLR (known to you as more
knowledgeable) to be used in this manner to help keep the commands flow
without interruption?
2- short of using real time OS, I want to use .net MF; because it is easy
to
use and less time consuming and is really a good way to use embedded MCU.
then what is the best ways to do that with the understanding, that we
can't
make .net MF a complete zero latency? there is enough RAM to hold a
program.

thank you

The question is easy to answer: Make the Static. This will put them on

high frequency heap, and they won't ever be collected.

.... now, with that said, this is probably pretty silly. What are you
building that you think GC will just wreck?

Given you level of knowledge about .Net, I would guess you haven't tried
any
of this yet, and are shooting in the dark. If this is the case, you may
want
to step back and take a bigger look at things.

Figure out your performance and latency requirements, and from there
determine if you can use .Net or not.

In the best case, you're guilty of waaaaay premature optimization, and
you're going to make things worse rather than better.

Hello;

thank you for your reply.

I understand your comment.
gc can not be disabled
and c# managed clr will kick in when it is become needed (out of my
control)
and .net can not be made real time response

restate my question:

there are structures that is persistence in memory and GC does not
collect
and remove.

what is would be recommended to use such structures in simple c#
program
to
make gc has no need to collect memory, if all the objects are
persistence?

thank you

It's not quite what you want, but it's likley very close.

.... Note: This isn't suitable for an entire application, but rather
regions
of code. If that's your goal, you should use C++ or Delphi, as a
managed
language (.Net, Java) isn't going to cut it.

Hello;

I am trying to write a c# .net code where no GC un-timed memory
operation.
the purpose of which is to allow the code to be responsive in real
time
as
possible.

what are the steps to talk in selecting type of objects and
variable.
do we use a single class for the program?
how to make all structures and variables persistence not subject to
GC?
what makes a method or functions persistence not subject to GC?

thank you
