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 ...

Dealing with dynamic memory traditionally has been one of the most awkward issues of C and C++ programming. It is not surprising that some supposedly easier languages, such as Java, have introduced ...

Dynamic memory allocation tends to be non-deterministic; the time taken to allocate memory may not be predictable and the memory pool may become fragmented, resulting in unexpected allocation failures ...

Memory allocation to specific neurons (neuronal allocation) and synapses (synaptic allocation) in a neurocircuit is not random; instead, specific mechanisms determine which synapses and neurons go ...

Understanding Linux memory management—page tables, swapping, and memory allocation—enables system administrators and developers to optimize performance and troubleshoot issues effectively. With tools ...
