FORTH Implementation of the Heap Data Structure

摘要

A method of managing memory for a real time expert system implemented on a Macintosh computer is implemented in the FORTH computer language. A Heap data structure is used to allocate and deallocate memory. The virture of the technique is the optimal use of memory even when the size and temporal characteristics of data blocks are a priori unknown. 3 refs., 2 figs. (ERA citation 11:037228)
