David Ungar did a great deal of work on Generation GC (I think he may
have originated the idea).  The paper "Generation Scavenging:  A
Non-disruptive High Performance Storage Reclamation Algorithm" is in
the Proceedings of the ACM SIGSOFT/SIGPLAN Software Engineering Symposium
on Practical Software Development Environments, April 23-25, 1984, which
was published as the May 1984 issue of both Software Engineering Notes and
SIGPLAN Notices.  I hope that helps.
