In practical words, when we run any C-program, its executable image is loaded into RAM of computer in an organized manner. This memory layout is organized in following fashion :- Text or Code Segment ...

Memory layout variations are often cited as a threat to the reproducibility of computer performance experiments. Previous research has shown worst-case effects as large as 300% of execution time, ...

As a result, to assure the program’s progress, the program states must be stored ... The total number of saved states influences execution energy and time, and memory layout influences the saved ...

When an OS loads a program to memory, it uses a particular format suitable for executing a program. This format is called memory layout. Understanding this layout is crucial for writing more reliable ...

But when was the last time that software engineers were concerned about reducing their memory footprint? The migration to 16/14nm with finFETs means that some aspects of memory design have to be ...

Memories are increasingly grouped into multi-die configurations such as multi-chip modules (MCMs) and 2.5D/3D structures, posing significant challenges to design, analysis, and packaging. For example, ...
