Garbage collection theory – Allocation
Reading Time: 3 minutesUp until now, we were concentrating on two aspects of the memory management – identifying live data, and a way to free unused memory. This post will concentrate on possibly the most important thing in memory management – allocating the memory. Two types of allocation There are two simple types of allocation – sequential and
Garbage collection theory – Copying algorithm
Reading Time: 6 minutesThe last ‘main’ of the GC algorithms that I’ve mentioned in the first post, was copying algorithm. The time has come then to dedicate a separate article to it. Basics of copying Algorithms already described suffer either from their execution time length, or resulting memory fragmentation. Copying GC algorithms are trying to address these issues,
Garbage collection theory – Mark&compact
Reading Time: 10 minutesUp until know, in the previous posts, we’ve taken a look at how memory is retrieved by different GC methods. However, we did not look at the state, in which the memory is left after such process. Obviously this is a big deal – no matter how fast GC algorithm is, when it leaves memory
Weekly summary #9
Reading Time: 2 minutesSummary of the ninth week of my #SeniorDevRevamp project. Overall summary AWS Dev Associate certification preparation was still going on – ANKI all over, and I have started to go through TutorialsDojo exam cheat sheet (and a couple of others). It is a nice way to summarize the knowledge I have, and also add some
Weekly summary #8
Reading Time: 3 minutesSummary of the eight week of my #SeniorDevRevamp project. Overall summary AWS Dev Associate certification preparation was still going on – I have scheduled an exam for 3rd of September. Unfortunately, there was no way to have it sooner in the on-site form. For the time being I have settled with ANKI flashcards every day.
