Question

In 2015, one company deprecated a common technique for managing this resource in favor of an integrated system called ARC (“ark”). Techniques for managing this resource often utilize escape analysis to determine whether certain operations can be performed safely. In one technique, the “generational” (10[1])method of managing this resource augments the “mark and sweep” method. Thrashing (10[1])occurs (10[1])due to constant (10[2])paging in the “virtual” form of this (10[1])resource. (10[1])Improperly accessing this resource causes segmentation faults. (10[1])Because C does not use garbage collection, developers manually manage this resource through functions like malloc, which may lead to dangling pointers. For 10 points, name this computational resource used to store (10[1])variables and data. ■END■

ANSWER: memory [or space or storage until “store” is read; accept virtual memory or random access memory; accept memory allocation or memory addresses; prompt on heap or stack; prompt on RAM] (Apple deprecated garbage collection for OS X programs in 2015.)
