Dynamic memory allocators for real-time embedded systems need to fulfill three fundamental requirements: bounded worst-case execution time, fast average execution time, and minimal fragmentation.

Embedded systems demand high performance with minimal power consumption, and the optimisation of scratchpad memory (SPM) plays a critical role in meeting these stringent requirements. SPM, a small ...

To ensure reliability of any embedded application which involves extensive usage of stack and heap, it is critical for the system designer to anticipate the maximum stack and heap utilization of the ...

To meet time-to-market and productivity pressures, embedded-system developers increasingly consider and use high-level design-software tools that provide more abstraction, simpler representations of ...

The Linux kernel Out of Memory (OOM) killer is not usually invoked on desktop and server computers, because those environments contain sufficient resident memory and swap space, making the OOM ...
