Up until now, we were concentrating on two aspects of the memory management – identifying live data, and a way to free unused memory. This post will concentrate on possibly the most important thing in memory management – allocating the memory. Two types of allocation…
The last ‘main’ of the GC algorithms that I’ve mentioned in the first post, was copying algorithm. The time has come then to dedicate a separate article to it. Basics of copying Algorithms already described suffer either from their execution time length, or resulting memory…
Up until know, in the previous posts, we’ve taken a look at how memory is retrieved by different GC methods. However, we did not look at the state, in which the memory is left after such process. Obviously this is a big deal – no…
Last year December summary was a big thing – it summed up my Advent of Code effort. Remembering that experience, this year I’ve decided not to indulge myself with such experience. Although, the month was both interesting and tiring at the same time! It started…
