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 ...

The Java virtual machine manages application memory and provides a portable execution environment for Java-based applications. Developers reap the rewards in performance, stability, and predictable ...

Basically I need to prove something with Java and our programmers. I know java isn't multi-threaded so everything seems to run on different threads. But I really want to know if it is CPU intensive as ...

A topic that I find particularly interesting, which is raised by many embedded software developers whom I meet, is dynamic memory allocation – grabbing chunks of memory as and when you need them. This ...

Being able to efficiently use the available (limited) memory is extremely important in high performance applications like computer games. If the data was stored in an aligned address like 0x0C the ...

Biden administration calls for developers to embrace memory-safe programing languages and move away from those that cause buffer overflows and other memory access vulnerabilities. US President Joe ...

Fast memory allocations along with memory leak detection can have a big impact on games performance. C++ provides two well known functions to allocate dynamic (heap) memory (malloc and new), these ...
