Computer Memory

Memory Model / Memory Layout

There are 3 main memory models (as I saw here):

1. Flat Memory Model
2. Paged Memory Model
3. x86 segmented memory model

CUDA 2D Memory layout:

1. Pitch Linear Memory Layout
2. Block Linear Memory Layout

When it comes to images, you also should look at Image Encoding.

The 4 main sections:

• Text segment (stores code/instructions)
• Global / static data
  • Data segment (stores initialized global/static variables)
  • BSS segment (uninitialized data)
• Read-only data?
• Heap (used for dynamic memory allocation)
• Stack (stores function calls, local variables, etc.)
