Memory Wastage Analysis Using Variable Alignment

Abstract

In present world, people are proficient with interactive devices. They prefer to use simple faster devices. The software industry play vital role in contributing to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Sri Lanka. The responsibility falls on the hands of developers. So they must be prudent while programming a device. Mainly they should consider about memory and execution time. When more memory is wasted, then it will make an impact on speed and further becomes inefficient for allocating memory for other purposes of the processes or programs that runs on the same host. Hence developers must be aware of wastage and where it occurs. It’s a very simple product that help to student to find the memory efficiency of their laboratory practical (programming) and also assists the developers to analyze the wastage of memory that is caused while programming. Then after, they can manually rearrange the code to reduce the memory wastage. The project was designed to prepare the students for efficient programming during laboratory practical. The extreme goal of the project is to provide the knowledge on memory management to Information Technology (IT) undergraduates from the learning state.
