The stack is normally located . Nor does it specify how a garbage collector should work. This defragmentation may occur when a memory allocation fails or there may be a periodic garbage collection process that is run. JavaScript is a garbage collected language, which means developers generally don't have to worry about memory management, unlike lower level programming languages. Nevertheless, all of the commonly used JVMs have garbage collectors, and most garbage collectors use similar algorithms to manage their memory and perform collection operations. In this session the Automatic variables (and function parameters) are usually stored on the stack. Dynamic memory allocation tends to be nondeterministic; the time taken to allocate memory may not be predictable and the memory pool may become fragmented, resulting in unexpected allocation failures. Oh, and since Greg mentioned "Inside the VM" (the free online chapters look fluffy to me, as Amazon feedback also states), if you were interested in that level I'd start with the classic book "Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management" instead. I love Richter's "CLR via C#" book, and am looking for something similar that covers boxing, generics, class loading, garbage collection, etc. Cheap The memory storage requirements of complex programs are extremely difficult to manage correctly by hand. Automatic memory management enables increased The main problem for most dynamic memory allocation algorithms is to avoid fragmentation (see below), while keeping both allocation and deallocation efficient. An alternate approach to memory management that is now commonly utilized, especially by most modern object-oriented languages, is automatic management by a program called a garbage collector.
