Abstract

An essential part of the CS 1 course based on Pascal is the idea of random access memory usage when structured programs are executed. A survey of several texts reveals that the view of both variables and constants as memory locations for data is in many cases not systematically carried over and developed further when procedures and functions are presented. This paper presents a systematic method for understanding memory usage when dealing with subprograms in Pascal and presents a survey of current approaches.

Endurance-Aware Allocation of Data Variables on NVM-Based Scratchpad Memory in Real-Time Embedded Systems
Nonvolatile memory (NVM) has many benefits compared to the traditional static RAM, such as improved reliability and reduced power consumption, but it has long write latency and limited write endurance. Scratchpad memory (SPM) is software-managed small on-...
The memory usage of a LISP system: the Belady life-time function

In this paper we will describe the memory management of a LISP interpreter, implemented in FORTRAN. The memory is used to store both LISP programs and LISP data structures. The dynamic use of this memory was examined during the execution of a large LISP ...
