Theory

Memory management is crucial for efficient software performance and has seen significant
advancements recently. Modern garbage collection techniques, non-volatile memory integration, and
memory safety improvements in languages like Rust have improved responsiveness, persistence, and
security. However, challenges like memory fragmentation, power efficiency, and security
vulnerabilities, such as buffer overflows, persist. Innovations in hardware-based protection and

adaptive algorithms are being developed to address these issues. The future of memory management
will likely focus on tighter integration between hardware and software and automated strategies to
optimize memory dynamically.
