[GSoC2008] Application for harmony-gc-copy

Hi all
    This is my application for harmony-gc project [1].
    It is only a humble draft, so I think it should be improved.
    I will be very pleased for your review and any kinds of suggestion is
welcome.
    Additionally, I would like invite a Harmony guru who is interested about
this project as my mentor.

Simon, you should read some papers to understand that, for example,
Sapphire [1] and Metronome [2].

Xiao-feng,
I have updated the project proposal for a little improvement.
I am not very clear about that Read and Write barrier should be added to
which kinds of operations generated by JIT respectively.
Would you like give me some examples?

Thanks

It's a good idea to have a concurrent copying GC in Harmony. Harmony
has a concurrent GC (part of Tick project) already, which is
mark-sweep(-compact) based. A copying GC would be a good enhancement.
Thanks.
