A C-based proof-of-concept tool designed to detect and analyze memory fragmentation in a given memory allocation scenario. The analyzer evaluates internal and external fragmentation, provides statistical insights, and suggests solutions to optimize memory usage.
-
Internal Fragmentation Detection
Calculates unused memory within allocated blocks. -
External Fragmentation Detection
Identifies memory gaps that are too small to satisfy allocation requests. -
Statistical Reporting
Outputs detailed metrics on:- Total memory allocated
- Memory wasted due to fragmentation
- Memory utilization percentage
-
Optimization Suggestions
Recommends techniques to minimize fragmentation, such as:- Memory compaction
- Alternative allocation strategies (e.g., best-fit, first-fit)
