All,
I'm looking for info on virtual memory fragmentation on Linux. I have
come across a few articles indicating that processes on Windows that
malloc/free memory all the time will fragment the memory until no
contiguous memory is available and the process will receive an out of
memory error.
Although the malloc/free memory call is made at the process level, would
Linux face the same limitations, or does the way Linux handles virtual
memory alleviate this problem.
thanks,
