Abstract: A method for managing memory leaks in a memory device includes grouping, by a garbage collection system, a plurality of similar memory allocations of the memory device into one or more Unique Fixed Identifiers (UFIs); identifying, by the garbage collection system, one of the one or more UFIs having a highest accumulated memory size and adding each of the plurality of memory allocations in the identified one of the one or more UFIs into a Potential Leak Candidate List (PLCL); identifying, by the garbage collection system, the memory leaks in the memory device by identifying unreferenced memory addresses associated with the plurality of memory allocations in the PLCL; and releasing, by the garbage collection system, the identified unreferenced memory addresses associated with the plurality of memory allocations corresponding to the memory leaks into the memory device.

Abstract: A multicore computing device includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor includes plural cores and a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) block coupled to the cores. The MIMO block receives a halt request from a first core of the cores, transmits a core-halt request to one or more other cores other than the first core, to halt execution of the one or more other cores, and permits the first core to lock with a shared resource.

Abstract: In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, an NFC device is provided, comprising an application processor and a plurality of execution environments, wherein the application processor is configured to generate a mapping between application identifiers and said execution environments, and wherein, in said mapping, the application identifiers are associated with specific ones of said execution environments. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding method of initializing an NFC device is conceived. In accordance with a third aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding computer program is provided.
