A tunable hybrid memory allocator
Dynamic memory management can make up to 60% of total program execution time. Object oriented languages such as C++ can use 20 times more memory than procedural languages like C. ...

Eliminating external fragmentation in a non-moving garbage collector for Java
Fragmentation can cause serious loss of memory in systems that are using dynamic memory management. Any useful memory management system must therefore provide means to limit fragm...
