What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory, Part 1

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 4th Oct 2007 15:23 UTC, submitted by diegocg

"Ulrich Drepper [the gnu libc project leader] recently approached us [LWN] asking if we would be interested in publishing a lengthy document he had written on how memory and software interact. Memory usage is often the determining factor in how software performs, but good information on how to avoid memory bottlenecks is hard to find. This article is the first in a serie of articles (the original has over 100 pages) that will get published on LWN weekly. Once the entire series is out, Ulrich will be releasing the full text."

Not really. Even if the author says he is only interested in linux, the first part is mostly concerned with hardware principles, which are general enough to be useful for other people.

If we're going to try to be pedantic, that should read "What Every Glibc-using Programmer Should Know About Memory, Part 1". Glibc runs on at least four different kernels, at my last count.

I'v read the first 2 installments. And they are both quite generic. Nothing at all glibc specific, or even close. As someone who uses glibc, I'm anxiously *waiting* for the more specific segments!
