Language and System Features


New Features:

  • The memory manager has been extended so that on Linux systems, better use is made of the mmap() system call. This causes less memory fragmentation and generally ensures that freed memory is returned to the operating system dynamically (within a single function call). This means that Magma may use significantly less memory than before for some inputs. The new use of mmap() also fixes some problems occurring in some newer versions of Linux (involving randomly mapped shared system libraries).
