  2. Region-based memory management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Region-based_memory_management

    This work was completed in 1995 [9] and integrated into the ML Kit, a version of ML based on region allocation in place of garbage collection. This permitted a direct comparison between the two on medium-sized test programs, yielding widely varying results ("between 10 times faster and four times slower") depending on how "region-friendly" the ...

  3. Slab allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_allocation

    For example, objects that are at least 1/8 of the page size for a given machine may benefit from a "large slab" size, with explicit free lists, while smaller objects may use a "small slab" setup, embed the free list tracking. Bonwick's original presentation of the slab allocator already made the distinction of layouts for large and small slabs. [1]

  4. Java performance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_performance

    Java memory use is much higher than C++'s memory use because: There is an overhead of 8 bytes for each object and 12 bytes for each array [61] in Java. If the size of an object is not a multiple of 8 bytes, it is rounded up to next multiple of 8. This means an object holding one byte field occupies 16 bytes and needs a 4-byte reference.

  5. Manual memory management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_memory_management

    In computer science, manual memory management refers to the usage of manual instructions by the programmer to identify and deallocate unused objects, or garbage.Up until the mid-1990s, the majority of programming languages used in industry supported manual memory management, though garbage collection has existed since 1959, when it was introduced with Lisp.

  6. Memory pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_pool

    Memory pools allow memory allocation with constant execution time. The memory release for thousands of objects in a pool is just one operation, not one by one if malloc is used to allocate memory for each object. Memory pools can be grouped in hierarchical tree structures, which is suitable for special programming structures like loops and ...

  7. Stack-based memory allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack-based_memory_allocation

    Many Unix-like systems as well as Microsoft Windows implement a function called alloca for dynamically allocating stack memory in a way similar to the heap-based malloc.A compiler typically translates it to inlined instructions manipulating the stack pointer, similar to how variable-length arrays are handled. [4]

  9. Memory management (operating systems) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management...

    Paged allocation divides the computer's primary memory into fixed-size units called page frames, and the program's virtual address space into pages of the same size. The hardware memory management unit maps pages to frames. The physical memory can be allocated on a page basis while the address space appears contiguous.
