Memory management is a critical aspect of modern operating systems, ensuring efficient allocation and deallocation of system memory. Linux, as a robust and widely used operating system, employs ...

Until recently, an explanation of memory management would have amounted to a description of a computer’s virtual memory implementation. Now however, memory management encompasses organizing frequently ...

Linux is a powerful and flexible operating system, widely used in servers, embedded systems, and even personal computers. However, even the best-configured systems can face performance bottlenecks ...

In the vast majority of cases, running a Linux-based operating system involves a pretty powerful processor with a lot of memory on hand, and perhaps most importantly, a memory management unit, or MMU.

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...
