           Summary: The GC should be parallel
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: fpizlo at apple.com


Garbage collection is embarrassingly parallel.  There is nothing in our marking code that isn't thread-safe other than the flipping of mark bits, which can be done with a single CAS instruction.
