Summary:A system and method for automatic memory management of a shared memory during parallel processing of a web application. The system includes a computing system configured to allow parallel computing of a web application executed within a web browser. The computing system includes shared memory having a set of blocks distributed at least a first thread and at least one spawned thread of a processing function of the web application. The memory is partitioned into a nursery heap, a mature heap and a database having a plurality of private nurseries, wherein the first thread has access to the nursery heap and mature heap and the at least one spawned thread has access to an associated one of the plurality of private nurseries. During parallel computing of the web application, management of the shared memory includes garbage collection of at least each of the plurality of private nurseries.
