    Pandas (styled as pandas) is a software library written for the Python programming language for data manipulation and analysis. In particular, it offers data structures and operations for manipulating numerical tables and time series .

  3. Manual memory management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_memory_management

    In computer science, manual memory management refers to the usage of manual instructions by the programmer to identify and deallocate unused objects, or garbage.Up until the mid-1990s, the majority of programming languages used in industry supported manual memory management, though garbage collection has existed since 1959, when it was introduced with Lisp.

  4. Slab allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_allocation

    When the allocator is asked to free the object's memory, it just adds the slot to the containing slab's list of free (unused) slots. The next call to create an object of the same type (or allocate memory of the same size) will return that memory slot (or some other free slot) and remove it from the list of free slots.

  5. Data structure alignment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure_alignment

    One use for such "packed" structures is to conserve memory. For example, a structure containing a single byte (such as a char) and a four-byte integer (such as uint32_t) would require three additional bytes of padding. A large array of such structures would use 37.5% less memory if they are packed, although accessing each structure might take ...

    If so, we have nothing to do: finished Otherwise: Wait until the lift is idle Go to the required floor Release the memory we used to remember the floor number The memory leak would occur if the floor number requested is the same floor that the elevator is on; the condition for releasing the memory would be skipped.

  7. Memory management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management

    Memory management (also dynamic memory management, dynamic storage allocation, or dynamic memory allocation) is a form of resource management applied to computer memory.The essential requirement of memory management is to provide ways to dynamically allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and free it for reuse when no longer needed.

  8. Array (data type) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Array_(data_type)

    In computer science, array is a data type that represents a collection of elements (values or variables), each selected by one or more indices (identifying keys) that can be computed at run time during program execution. Such a collection is usually called an array variable or array value. [1]

  9. Buddy memory allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_memory_allocation

    However, there still exists the problem of internal fragmentation – memory wasted because the memory requested is a little larger than a small block, but a lot smaller than a large block. Because of the way the buddy memory allocation technique works, a program that requests 66 K of memory would be allocated 128 K, which results in a waste of ...
