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 ...

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 ...

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.

To ensure reliability of any embedded application which involves extensive usage of stack and heap, it is critical for the system designer to anticipate the maximum stack and heap utilization of the ...

Dynamic memory allocation / deallocation happens very frequently in many programs. A large fraction of operations on strings and dynamic data structures (lists, trees, tables, etc) involve allocating ...

Write program to run in parallel? Yes. Did you remember to use a Scalable Memory Allocator? No? Then read on … In my experience, making sure “memory allocation” for a program is ready for parallelism ...

As designs increase in complexity, the density of memories that they connect to has also increased. It is not uncommon to see gigabyte memories. Having large memories comes with its own set of ...
