Talk:Memory management

message: This really is a terrible article. Its ridiculously saturated with junk and could fall apart at any time, and probably should, it makes a vast variety of claims on how all these systems are tied together without even mentioning the application layer, and is written in sloppy stereotypical granulated oxford lecture style. I've gone through and fixed some of it, but its an oddly useless factor.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MeekMelange (talk • contribs) 15:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

message: i was really wondering how would if i insert a section about Comparison table of Dynamic Memory Allocation in various languages such as in java, c++, python, pascal etc. That will give glimpse that how one can allocate memory dynamically in different languages.

thread_title: Dynamic memory allocation in various languages

message: I quite disagree with the definition of Garbage collection (GC) given here.ie
It says : "Garbage collection is the automated allocation and deallocation of computer memory resources for a program."
For me, the role of the garbage collector is to reclaim garbage but not to allocate memory. Allocating memory automatically is the goal of a memory allocator.
I would like to change this (if everyone agree) to :
"Garbage collection is the automated deallocation of unused computer memory resources for a program."
What do you think ?

text: it is appreciate you corrected my formatting, but you didn't fix the problem, when i went to the article, my firefox just get freezed, then i forbid the wikipedia's script, but the CPU usage still went to 100%, when i switch to maxthon(a IE shell) then the situation got a little bit better(in first couple sec the CPU usage is still 100%)      --Dowclo 01:06, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: What happened

message: This article seems to largely (but not entirely) be concerned with techniques used to manage application memory.  Is there a place to discuss how the OS manages the computer's physical and/or virtual memory on behalf of the user?  I came to this question while updating DOS/360 (I believe) and looking for an appropriate wikilink for "partition".  I think there should be an article discussing the methods operating systems have used to manage memory: "all memory" like DOS, IBSYS,etc.  Memory "banks" like TOPS-10 segments, fixed partitions (DOS/360, MFT), dynamic allocation like OS/360 MVT, and then a brief discussion of virtual memory - single address space (OS/VS2 SVS and maybe others), segmented virtual memory like Multics, and then multiple address spaces like most current systems.  Virtual memory has a pretty good article, but the historical stuff doesn't seem to have a home. Peter Flass (talk) 17:58, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  "userland" memory management vs. OS memory management 

message: 103.6.184.32 was right: there is an inbound redirect , but there is no explanation of it. BTW, various threads on this talk page, and the presence of a dirty JPEG diagram on a very visible spot, certainly indicate that the article is neglected by good, able experts for a long time.
