This project represents a simulation designed to illustrate memory management techniques used in operating systems. The focus is on presenting the way memory allocation works in practice, especially ...

Memory allocation is a crucial task in system programming, as it determines how the operating system and the applications use the available physical and virtual memory.

The main memory must accommodate both the operating system and the various user processes. We therefore need to allocate main memory in the most efficient way possible. This section explains one early ...

Memory allocation is how the operating system assigns memory to processes and data structures. There are different types of memory allocation strategies, such as static, dynamic, stack, heap, and ...

Dynamic Memory in C. In C, dynamic memory is allocated from the heap using some standard library functions. The two key dynamic memory functions are malloc() and free(). The malloc() function takes a ...

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 ...

The algorithm can predict the dynamic memory allocation of the system by updating the state transition matrix based on the state transition information of memory blocks. By adding a memory prediction ...

While several embedded operating systems like MantisOS, SOS and Contiki provide dynamic memory allocation support, they usually lack flexibility or have relatively large memory overhead. In this paper ...

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 ...
