Stack memory is freed when the function finishes executing, but it is difficult to determine when to free heap memory, and how it is handled varies depending on the programming language.

The US government has imposed fresh export controls on the sale of high tech memory chips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications to China. The rules apply to US-made high bandwidth ...

When the application’s stack grows too large, it can get too close to the heap, the memory region that holds information such as the files being viewed and edited.

Stack and heap memory must be allocated statically by the programmer but calculating the space required is notoriously difficult for all but the smallest embedded systems.

(CNN) — The US government has imposed fresh export controls on the sale of high tech memory chips used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications to China.

But the improvements to memory use coming to Edge and Chrome derive from Microsoft expanding the availability of Windows segment heap memory to Win32 applications.
