The document discusses Golang garbage collection (GC). It describes the tri-color GC algorithm used in Golang which includes a root scanning phase, mark phase, and sweep phase. It discusses how the mark and sweep phases can cause mutator pause times. It also provides examples of GC traces and how the GC behaves differently based on whether a program is using slices or lists. It shows how to use the runtime/pprof package to profile CPU and memory usage. Finally, it discusses improvements to Golang's GC across different versions.
