Abstract
Some students experience difficulties when first introduced to dynamic memory. The goal of this paper is to present an analogy between dynamic memory programming and a real-world example that will help students in understanding the underlying concepts behind dynamic memory: a left-luggage room with lockers.

A wear-leveling-aware dynamic stack for pcm memory in embedded systems
DATE '14: Proceedings of the conference on Design, Automation & Test in EuropePhase Change Memory (PCM) is a promising DRAM replacement in embedded systems due to its attractive characteristics such as extremely low leakage power, high storage density and good scalability. However, PCM's low endurance constrains its practical ...
