Subject: | Re: [Caml-list] Garbage collector and memory fragmentation |
Thanks to all who gave me answers. I have now a much clearer idea of the topic. Sincerely yours, François Béreux francois bereux a écrit : > <This question is not specific to OCaml, but rather to garbage > collection.> > > I have a program (in Fortran90) that uses many (> 100.000) small lists > of integers ( about 100 elements per list ).
