What does VM mean in this context? I assume it stands for Virtual Memory - does that mean it bypasses the MMU?
- tazjin 4y agoI'm guessing it means virtual machine, which in this context might be better phrased as runtime. Think something like the JVM or Beam.
- tmtvl 4y agoWouldn't it mean Virtual Machine, so no BEAM, JVM, MoarVM, or whatever to handle the memory management behind the scenes? Which is kind of funny, I wonder if that means they directly call sbrk and brk rather than using malloc and free.
