Tutorial by Examples: allocation

The term 'heap' is a general computing term meaning an area of memory from which portions can be allocated and deallocated independently of the memory provided by the stack. In C++ the Standard refers to this area as the Free Store which is considered a more accurate term. Areas of memory allocate...

In Swift, memory management is done for you automatically using Automatic Reference Counting. (See Memory Management) Allocation is the process of reserving a spot in memory for an object, and in Swift understanding the performance of such requires some understanding of the heap and the stack. The h...

Scope guards allow executing statements at certain conditions if the current block is left. import core.stdc.stdlib; void main() { int* p = cast(int*)malloc(int.sizeof); scope(exit) free(p); }

An object can only be deallocated by delete if it was allocated by new and is not an array. If the argument to delete was not returned by new or is an array, the behavior is undefined. An object can only be deallocated by delete[] if it was allocated by new and is an array. If the argument to delet...

In most object oriented languages, allocating memory for an object and initializing it is an atomic operation: // Both allocates memory and calls the constructor MyClass object = new MyClass(); In Objective-C, these are separate operations. The class methods alloc (and its historic sibling allo...

Arrays in MATLAB are held as continuous blocks in memory, allocated and released automatically by MATLAB. MATLAB hides memory management operations such as resizing of an array behind easy to use syntax: a = 1:4 a = 1 2 3 4 a(5) = 10 % or alternatively a = [a, 10] a = ...

01 field-1 PIC X(80) BASED. ALLOCATE field-1 *> use field-1 FREE field-1 *> further use of field-1 will cause memory corruption

Use top command to exam CPU time allocation between user space and kernel space. Explanation: 24.8 us (user space): 24.8% of CPU time is spent on user process. 0.5 sy (system): 0.5% of CPU time is spent on kernel space. ni (niceness): the ratio of CPU time spent on low priority processes. i...

var a = 11, b = 22; a = a ^ b; b = a ^ b; a = a ^ b; console.log("a = " + a + "; b = " + b);// a is now 22 and b is now 11

By default, TensorFlow pre-allocate the whole memory of the GPU card (which can causes CUDA_OUT_OF_MEMORY warning). To change this, it is possible to change the percentage of memory pre-allocated, using per_process_gpu_memory_fraction config option, A value between 0 and 1 that indicates wh...
