Custom fixed block memory allocators effectively address slow global heap allocations and fragmentation issues, making them ideal for both mission-critical and long-running embedded systems.
The typical approach to memory management involves static allocation, but this can lead to wasted resources, while dynamic allocation can provide a more efficient design.
By implementing a simple C++ allocator that is faster than global heap and eliminates fragmentation faults, we can optimize memory usage with minimal code and overhead.
Maintaining an efficient memory management system is crucial to prevent memory faults in long-term running systems, ensuring reliability and performance without unnecessary resource consumption.
