Is there a way to manually initiate the garbage collector on Google's V8 engine? I couldn't find any reference for it. by usually GCs support this function.

The garbage collection process only starts when a new object comes in and find no more place for it in the from-space. Then it traverses a old-to new root set to figure out whether the object is still alive and whether it has been survived from the last round. If the object is no longer used, leave it there.
Using Runtime. getRuntime(). gc() method: Runtime class allows the application to interface with the JVM in which the application is running. Hence by using its gc() method, we can request JVM to run Garbage Collector.
You can try to explicitly call the garbage collector by System. gc() and Runtime. gc(). However, even after explicitly calling the Garbage collector there is no guarantee that it will actually work.
You can expose the v8::HEAP->CollectAllGarbage function to the
global JavaScript namespace via the command flag --expose_gc. Then
simply call gc();.
You can force garbage collection from C++ via the statement:
while(!V8::IdleNotification()) {};
