A dynamic memory management system has to take care of the allocation and deallocation of memory blocks in a software system. Real-time embedded systems add some more constraints to the design and the implementation of dynamic memory management systems if compared with the PC world. An increasing number of features are added to embedded mobile devices, however, resources like dynamic memory are limited. In addition, in real-time systems, real-time deadlines must be respected and allocations and deallocations must be done in due time. In this paper we present a case study on evaluating dynamic memory management in embedded real-time systems. We have used a scenario-based approach and used a simulation environment to evaluate the performance of different dynamic memory management systems. Our contribution is to present a practical approach, the tools and the rationales to evaluate dynamic memory management in embedded real-time systems.
