I recently presented arguments for and against using dynamic memory allocation in C and C++ programs. 1 I do agree that truly safety-critical systems should avoid using dynamic allocation because the ...

Memory errors such as out-of-bounds reads and writes and use-after-free bugs have plagued applications for decades, causing problems ranging from minor execution glitches to global security nightmares ...

Dealing with dynamic memory traditionally has been one of the most awkward issues of C and C++ programming. It is not surprising that some supposedly easier languages, such as Java, have introduced ...

Write program to run in parallel? Yes. Did you remember to use a Scalable Memory Allocator? No? Then read on … In my experience, making sure “memory allocation” for a program is ready for parallelism ...

Security analysts welcomed a recommendation from the US National Security Agency (NSA) last week for software developers to consider adopting languages, such as C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust, and Swift, ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...
