Abstract

Memory is dynamically shared or allocated in an embedded computer system. The types of memory that are part of the system are first determined. Thereafter, the amount of memory available for use is determined. The type of memory required by a program or application is determined as is the amount of space that is required. If the amount of memory space that can be allocated to the program in a first type of requested memory is greater than or at least equal to the amount of memory space required by the computer program, the program is then loaded into the available memory. If the requested type of memory is not available or there is not enough of the requested memory available, other types of memory devices are considered and used, if sufficient space in one or more of them exists.
