While every OS has its own swap algorithm, all are trying to reduce the possibility of thrashing, a situation in which a system’s resources are drained by the OS constantly swapping in and out data ...

Memory efficiency: A measure of how effectively an algorithm utilises and manages memory resources, particularly critical in high-throughput video processing.

The GC engine takes care of recognizing that a particular block of allocated memory (heap) is not used anymore and puts it back into the free memory area. GC was introduced by John McCarthy in 1958, ...

Failure of brk (), mmap () and fork () system calls: deny memory allocation requests to prevent system slowness and kernel OOM killer invocation according to a previously calibrated MAT level. Low ...

Persistent memory, offering non-volatility with near-DRAM speeds, has enabled the development of PM-aware data structures that skilfully balance the demands of performance, reliability, and ...

Third, we advocate the need for memory abstraction for the efficient management of the asymmetric memory. H2M2 outperforms the conventional homogeneous memory system with LPDDR by 1.46x, 1.55x, and ...

For cases in which occasional change is required, an appropriate memory management algorithm can skip over outdated information and use previously empty memory to hold the updates. Such management ...

A UK chip startup, VyperCore, says it has come up with a memory management scheme that does a software layer end-around and delivers as much as a 10x throughput improvement for high performance, ...
