Memory Management

Broader: computer-science

Roles: allocator, address-space, region, allocation, deallocation, leak, corruption

The subsystem responsible for parceling out, tracking, and reclaiming a program’s working memory. Memory management is where computing meets its most fundamental physical constraint — finite storage — and the vocabulary reflects it: allocation, regions, boundaries, overflow. The domain is a natural target for spatial and container metaphors because memory genuinely is a bounded resource divided into addressable locations.
