SHWAPPE Workbench of a Customisable Memory Manager

CMM Workbench

This SWHAPPE workbench is for the acquisition of the source code of CMM, a Customisable Memory Manager.

---

This repository contains information on the acquisition process related to the CMM project that were created during the work.

The original finds are stored in the Depository containing the raw materials and the browsable source.

The resulting development history can be found in the CMM repository.

This repository was created with the support of the Software Heritage Acquisition Process Pisa Enactor.  Please look at the SWHAPPE repository and to guidelines for more details.

CMM (1994-1997)
The Customizable Memory Management (CMM) is a memory management facility supporting complex
memory-intensive applications in C++. The CMM can manage several heaps, each one implementing a different storage discipline. It offers some predefined storage discipline (e.g. copying garbage collection and mark&sweep heap) allowing users to define their own
heap classes for the specific storage requirements of their algorithms. The CMM has been exploited in the implementation of the Buchberger (add link?) algorithm in the context of the European research project PoSSo (Polynomial System Solving) active from 1992 to 1995, and in 1994 was used by Sun Microsystems in the development of the language the Oak programming language,
later known as Java.
