Reducing RAM usage in a runtime

Reducing RAM usage in a runtime

A computing device and method for reducing memory usage in a runtime. The method is performed in a computer system having a non-volatile memory (ROM) containing initial states of objects for the runtime and volatile memory (RAM). An alias table in RAM is accessed corresponding with an object in ROM....

Zusammenfassung:A computing device and method for reducing memory usage in a runtime. The method is performed in a computer system having a non-volatile memory (ROM) containing initial states of objects for the runtime and volatile memory (RAM). An alias table in RAM is accessed corresponding with an object in ROM. If the there is an alias referenced in RAM, then computation is performed upon the alias rather than the object in ROM. Otherwise, if there is no alias then computation is performed upon the one in ROM. If the object is required to be updated, then it is stored as an alias referenced by the alias table stored in RAM.
