Memory safety in C can be summed up in a few words: there isn’t any! C is the most popular programming language used to write applications for embedded systems, particularly microcontroller-based ...

Some people think that programs for microcontrollers like the 8051 that have limited program memory must be written in assembly language rather than a high-level language like C. The executable code ...

A group working on the development of the hugely popular C++ programming language has outlined a path to make the language "memory safe" -- just like its younger rival, Rust. Widespread warnings about ...

How do I learn the C programming language on my Apple Mac? The C programming language has been around since the 1970s, but it has never gone out of style, and learning C is one of the best computer ...

One of the problems with developing embedded systems is the detection of memory leaks; I've found three tools that are useful for this. These tools are used to detect application program errors, not ...

Intel Xeon Phi processors have two features that I believe we will see in more and more designs for HPC systems in the future: high bandwidth memory, and options for subdividing the many cores into ...
