Memory Management for Synthesis of DSP Software
Memory Management for Synthesis of DSP Software focuses on techniques for minimizing memory requirements during the synthesis of software from dataflow representations of DSP systems. This book reviews research for compiling synchronous dataflow specifications. Building on the formal foundation of synchronous dataflow-based software synthesis, it discusses recently developed techniques along with underlying theories that optimize memory...

Memory Management: Algorithms and Implementation in C/C++
Memory Management: Algorithms and Implementation in C/C++ presents several concrete implementations of garbage collection and explicit memory management algorithms. Every implementation is complemented by an in-depth presentation of theory, followed by benchmark tests, a complete listing of C/C++ source code, and a discussion of each implementation’s trade-offs.

A garbage collector for C and C++
The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It allows you to allocate memory basically as you normally would, without explicitly deallocating memory that is no longer useful. The collector automatically recycles memory when it determines that it can no longer be otherwise accessed. A simple example of such a use is given here.

A garbage collector for C and C++
The Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector can be used as a garbage collecting replacement for C malloc or C++ new. It is also used by a number of programming language implementations that use C as intermediate code. For a more detailed description of the interface, see here.

Embedded Garbage Collector
EGC is a garbage collector designed for embedded systems. It is fully concurrent and can bound its runtime. It runs in fixed memory spaces. It works with GCJ and with C/C++ programs.

Six Design and Development Considerations for Embedded Multi-Processor Systems
Established over 40 years ago, Moore’s law explains that processor capacity roughly doubles every two years. The doubling of capacity can be seen as doubling of memory sizes and processing speeds. In recent years, chip companies have found that the most effective way to profit from today’s wealth of transistors is to place multiple processing cores on the same chip. This paper discusses some of the issues associated with targeting symmetric...

Automatic Garbage Collection in Java and C++
The purpose of this writing is to outline my views on automatic garbage collection (AGC) in Java and C++. It is well known that AGC is standard in Java, but is rarely available in C++. Garbage collection concerns objects with dynamic extent (allocated with a new statement in these languages.).
