Fixed-Length Allocation and Deallocation of Memory for Embedded Java Virtual Machine

임베디드 자바가상기계를 위한 고정 크기 메모리 할당 및 해제

Fixed-size memory allocation is one of the most promising way to avoid external fragmentation in dynamic memory allocation problem. This paper presents an experimental result of applying the fixed- size memory allocation strategy to Java virtual machine for embedded system. The result says that although this strategy induces another memory utilization problem caused by internal fragmentation, the effect is not very considerable and this strategy is well-suited for embedded Java system. The experiment has been performed in a real embedded Java system called the simpleRTJ.
