Abstract
This paper describes a memory discipline that combines region-based memory management and copying garbage collection by extending Cheney's copying garbage collection algorithm to work with regions. The paper presents empirical evidence that region inference very significantly reduces the number of garbage collections; and evidence that the fastest execution is obtained by using regions alone, without garbage collection.
