gc

Experimenting with building Poor Richard's Memory Manager in Haskell user space.

import System.Mem.Manager

main = do
  _ <- selfishManager
  ...

Now an oracle would look for signs of memory pressure from the host operating system and attempt more aggressive garbage collection in response. The current implementation matches the 'GenMS+Selfish' scheme from the original paper due to lack of information from GHC about how many pages have been returned to the OS.
