A Review on Memory Allocators for NUMA Based RTOS

Abstract

Since long time memory management algorithms have been studied widely, inadequate devotion has been concentrated on the real-time characteristic. Furthermost algorithms are general-purpose and do not fulfill the necessities of real-time systems. Moreover, the few allocators supporting real-time systems do not emphasizes well on multiprocessors architecture. The growing needs for high-performance computational processing has caused in the tendency of having numerous cores. This demands can be satisfied by NUMA architecture based systems. This paper explain various memory management algorithm for real time operating system.
