Reserving memory for specific purposes. At startup, operating systems and applications reserve fixed amounts of memory (RAM) and may allocate more as needed. Although a virtual memory function ...

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 ...

Embedded systems demand high performance with minimal power consumption, and the optimisation of scratchpad memory (SPM) plays a critical role in meeting these stringent requirements. SPM, a small ...

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 ...
