Abstract
In future technologies of nomadic embedded systems an increasing amount of applications (e.g., 3D games, video-players) coming from the general-purpose domain need to be mapped onto an extremely compact device. Furthermore, the general trend of ubiquitous mobile access pushes developers to provide cross-platform applications with the same characteristics across a set of devices and desktop systems. Smartphones, tablets, in-car entertainment and navigation systems offer access to the same applications that traditionally run on PCs and servers. However, these new embedded systems, struggle to execute these complex applications because they come from desktop systems, holding very different restrictions regarding memory use features, and more concretely not concerned with an efficient use of the dynamic memory.
