Abstract
I was happy to see the article on estimating memory usage by Yoon et al. in this issue of IEEE Design&Test
. I have not seen much work on this subject lately. I have heard those who do software for embedded systems rightly express pride in how efficiently they write code but judging from the memory usage data on programs I run on my laptop, many modern software developers are allergic to the system call that frees up memory. I check this because my somewhat antiquated computer (eight years old) runs slowly. But what should I expect? It has only 6 GB of memory.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
