requirement of memory management is to provide ways to dynamically allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and free it for reuse when no longer...

programming language manages memory statically, automatically, or dynamically. Static-duration variables are allocated in main memory, usually along with the...

deploying the module. The application can allocate, access and free memory through the following interface: Allocate memory from the pools. The function will...

The Hoard memory allocator, or Hoard, is a memory allocator for Linux, OS X, and Microsoft Windows. Hoard is designed to be efficient when used by multithreaded...

In computer science, region-based memory management is a type of memory management in which each allocated object is assigned to a region. A region, also...

automatic memory management. The garbage collector attempts to reclaim memory that was allocated by the program, but is no longer referenced; such memory is...

will fit in memory. Consequently, it is impossible to allocate the entire physical memory in a single chunk; the remaining 976 K of memory would have to...

Out of memory (OOM) is an often undesired state of computer operation where no additional memory can be allocated for use by programs or the operating...

application requests more memory than the total size of physical memory and the page file, leading to failed requests to allocate memory that may cause applications...

limitation is not present when compiling for x86. It would be beneficial to allocate memory aligned to cache lines. If an array is partitioned for more than one...

form of dynamic memory allocation is usually required. Allocators handle all the requests for allocation and deallocation of memory for a given container...

of each memory location, either allocated or free. It determines how memory is allocated among competing processes, deciding which gets memory, when they...

experience. Eventually, in the worst case, too much of the available memory may become allocated and all or part of the system or device stops working correctly...

such a way that it will both allocate memory for the object, and initialize the object within the newly allocated memory. The placement syntax allows...

waste of slack space as memory maps are always aligned to the page size, which is mostly 4 KiB. Therefore, a 5 KiB file will allocate 8 KiB and thus 3 KiB...

}; /* Allocate and initialize a new Item object */ struct Item * make_item(const char *name) { struct Item * item; /* Allocate a block of memory for a...

privilege to allocate more physical memory pages to build its working set, which is expected to quickly finish its execution and release the memory pages to...

allocations and deallocations. This technique is used for retaining allocated memory containing a data object of a certain type for reuse upon subsequent...

blocks) allocator was one of three available memory allocators in the Linux kernel up to version 6.3. The other two are SLAB (slab allocator) and SLUB...
