Memory allocation is a fairly mature field of computer science. However, we challenge a prevailing assumption in the literature over the last 50 years which, if reconsidered, necessitates a fundamental reevaluation of many classical memory…

Applications making excessive use of single-object based data structures (such as linked lists, trees, etc...) can see a drop in efficiency over a period of time due to the randomization of nodes in memory. This slow down is due to the…

The use of local memory is important to improve the performance of OpenCL programs. However, its use may not always benefit performance, depending on various application characteristics, and there is no simple heuristic for deciding when to…

Using custom memory allocators is an efficient performance optimization technique. However, dependency on a custom allocator can introduce several maintenance-related issues. We present lessons learned from the industry and provide critical…

At the allocation and deallocation of small objects with fixed size, the standard allocator of the runtime system has commonly a worse time performance compared to allocators adapted for a special application field. We propose a memory…

We demonstrate that general-purpose memory allocation involving many threads on many cores can be done with high performance, multicore scalability, and low memory consumption. For this purpose, we have designed and implemented scalloc, a…

Dynamic memory management requires special attention in programming. It should be fast and secure at the same time. This paper proposes a new randomized dynamic memory management algorithm designed to meet these requirements. Randomization…

For the last thirty years, a large variety of memory allocators have been proposed. Since performance, memory usage and energy consumption of each memory allocator differs, software engineers often face difficult choices in selecting the…

Resource constraints can fundamentally change both learning and decision-making. We explore how memory constraints influence an agent's performance when navigating unknown environments using standard reinforcement learning algorithms.…

To deal with the complexity of the new bigger and more complex generation of data, machine learning (ML) techniques are probably the first and foremost used. For ML algorithms to produce results in a reasonable amount of time, they need to…

In C++, objects can be allocated in static memory, on the stack, or on the heap -- the latter being significantly more performance-costly than the former options. We hypothesized that programmers, particularly those involved in widely-used…

A number of prototypical optimization problems in multi-agent systems (e.g., task allocation and network load-sharing) exhibit a highly local structure: that is, each agent's decision variables are only directly coupled to few other agent's…

The ability to dynamically allocate memory is fundamental in modern programming languages. However, this feature is not adequately supported in current general-purpose PIM devices. To identify key design principles that PIM must consider,…

Register allocation (mapping variables to processor registers or memory) and instruction scheduling (reordering instructions to increase instruction-level parallelism) are essential tasks for generating efficient assembly code in a…

The proliferation of fast, dense, byte-addressable nonvolatile memory suggests that data might be kept in pointer-rich "in-memory" format across program runs and even process and system crashes. For full generality, such data requires…

The challenge of spatial resource allocation is pervasive across various domains such as transportation, industry, and daily life. As the scale of real-world issues continues to expand and demands for real-time solutions increase,…

Developing parallel algorithms efficiently requires careful management of concurrency across diverse hardware architectures. C++ executors provide a standardized interface that simplifies the development process, allowing developers to…

Resource allocation in High Performance Computing (HPC) settings is still not easy for end-users due to the wide variety of application and environment configuration options. Users have difficulties to estimate the number of processors and…

Approximate memory is a technique to mitigate the performance gap between memory subsystems and CPUs with its reduced access latency at a cost of data integrity. To gain benefit from approximate memory for realistic applications, it is…

Although High Performance Computing (HPC) users understand basic resource requirements such as the number of CPUs and memory limits, internal infrastructural utilization data is exclusively leveraged by cluster operators, who use it to…
