When memory pressure crosses threshold, GarbageCollector is run by runtime, where: lets assume digraph of objects with object as vertex and references as edges.

void GarbageCollector()
{
    //ensure no hisenbugs
    FreezeAllActivity();
    //get all the roots 
    Collection roots = GetAllRoots();
    // //visit the nodes in the graph recursively
    for(int i = 0; i < roots.Count(); ++i)
       //make flag to indicate object is in range
        Mark(roots[i]);
    //finally free up memory blocksand reset mark bit
    Sweep();
}
