Reserving memory moment to moment, as needed, without having to reserve a fixed amount ahead of time. Modern operating systems perform dynamic memory allocation for their own use. They may also ...

Did you know it was possible to dynamically reallocate RAM to and from a KVM guest, while the guest is running? I didn't know that, until I accidentally actually did so today. I had a host with ...

Dynamic memory allocation tends to be non-deterministic; the time taken to allocate memory may not be predictable and the memory pool may become fragmented, resulting in unexpected allocation failures ...

According to the C++ Standard, these four variants of operator new (new, new [], nothrow new, and nothrow new []) are the only replaceable memory allocation functions. If you really want to prevent ...

As high-speed interfaces begin to proliferate today's networking equipment designs, designers can no longer afford to use their static input buffering techniques. These static allocation schemes ...

In 1968, dynamic RAM was patented by IBM, and the first commercial chips came from Intel and Mostek in the early 1970s with a capacity of 1,000 bits. See static RAM and memory types.
