I'm still digesting the material I got at VMworld 2010 . The show had two over-arching themes: cloud and VDI. It's not entirely surprising, as these are new segments for VMware and the larger ...

The Java virtual machine manages application memory and provides a portable execution environment for Java-based applications. Developers reap the rewards in performance, stability, and predictable ...

Reserving memory for specific purposes. At startup, operating systems and applications reserve fixed amounts of memory (RAM) and may allocate more as needed. Although a virtual memory function ...

The biggest feature of iPadOS 16 will only run on the M1 iPads — and it is using advanced memory management to do it. Introduced at WWDC 2022, iPadOS 16 brought floating windows to iPad for the first ...
