Dynamic memory allocation is a process that allows a program to distribute efficiently its memory space in situations of unpredictable events that need to be stored in memory due to unknown inputs[10]. Using dynamic memory allocation, while a program is running, provides the ability to request more memory from the system. If there is enough memory available, the system will grant the program the...
Internet-Of-Things Memory Problems
The growth of Internet-of-Things(IoT) solutions creates vast new opportunities for developers of embedded systems by providing capabilities which can be added to just about any physical object including medical devices, household appliances, home automation, industrial controls, even clothing and light bulbs. This collection of billions of end devices, from the tiniest ultra-efficient connected...
Memory Management Algorithms for MMU-Less Systems
There are several different approaches for memory management that can solve the fragmentation problem on MMU-less embedded systems. Each algorithm is classified according to the way that it finds a free block of the most appropriate size. There are five categories extendedly analyzed in M. Masmano el al. [1], Sun et al. [2] and P. R. Wilson [10] works: Sequential Fit, Segregated Free Lists...
