I recently presented arguments for and against using dynamic memory allocation in C and C++ programs. 1 I do agree that truly safety-critical systems should avoid using dynamic allocation because the ...

When To Use Malloc In Dynamic Memory Allocation Introduction to dynamic memory allocation. A topic that I find particularly interesting, which is raised by many embedded software developers whom I ...

Reserving memory moment to moment, as needed, without having to reserve a fixed amount ahead of time. Modern operating systems perform dynamic memory allocation for their own use. They may also ...

Researchers develop a resource oversubscription tool that echoes QoS provisioning to increase cloud memory allocation by 36 ...

Back when I was deep into building embedded control systems (and snow was always 20 feet deep and going to and from school was up hill both ways), the use of dynamic memory allocation was forbidden.

For desktop applications, where memory is freely available, these difficulties can be ignored. For embedded - generally real time - applications, ignoring the issue is not an option. Dynamic memory ...

If your production Linux system is logging memory allocation failures, it might still be able to keep running. But developers want to keep an eye on which code can survive a shortage of memory.

You also seldom see the equivalent of this stack in user space, because there is rarely a reason to perform a dynamic memory allocation when you know the allocation size at the time you write the code ...

Well, it’s still not exactly clear how memory allocation “increases the average utilization” or “significantly increases performance.” To even attempt to understand Dynamic Caching, we ...

C and C++ programmers control dynamic memory allocation. Reckless use of this control can lead to memory management problems, which cause performance degradation, unpredictable execution or crashes.
