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 Department of Computer Science and Technology, Peking University, Beijing, China, has shown that a novel dynamic memory mapping (DMM) model brings about additional flexibility to virtual resource ...

As someone who has spent over two decades in the embedded systems industry, I’ve seen the vast evolution of technology—from 8-bit microcontrollers to today’s sophisticated, multicore systems. Yet, one ...

A technical paper titled “EDDY: A Multi-Core BDD Package with Dynamic Memory Management and Reduced Fragmentation” was published by researchers at University of Bremen. “In recent years, hardware ...

According to Yuen, when dynamic memory is included with standardized hardware from Dell Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co., performance has spiked by 40 percent. As a result, it's now possible to ensure ...

Fundamentals of computer systems programming, machine organization, and performance tuning. This course provides a solid background in systems programming and a deep understanding of low-level machine ...

In the world of programming languages it often feels like being stuck in a Groundhog Day-esque loop through purgatory, as effectively the same problems are being solved over and over, with previous ...

The Zephyr Project is an open-source project—an operating system that targets the low end of the Internet of Things (IoT). It can be run on small microcontrollers and higher-end ones alike. It also ...

The C language has been a programming staple for decades. Here’s how it stacks up against C++, Java, C#, Go, Rust, Python, and the newest kid on the block—Carbon. The C programming language has been ...
