Memory Management: Algorithms & Implementation in C/C++
This book 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. With this book, you can: Find out
how memory is managed at the hardware level by the processor; Discover the ways in which different operating systems take advantage of processor facilities to provide memory services via the system call interface; Understand how development libraries and run-time systems build upon the operating system services to manage memory on behalf of user applications; Learn about five complete memory management subsystems that utilise both explicit and automatic collection algorithms.
