Minneeffektivitet
Minneeffektivitet refers to the effectiveness with which computing systems use allocated memory resources. It is a fundamental measure of how much of the available memory is actively utilized for storing data and executing processes, as opposed to being wasted or held in idle buffers. The concept is widely employed in software engineering, operating systems, and embedded device design to gauge the lean usage of RAM and storage.
The importance of minneeffektivitet lies in performance optimization and cost control. Systems that allocate memory inefficiently
Measurement of minneeffektivitet is typically expressed as a ratio or percentage: (used memory) ÷ (allocated memory).
Typical techniques to improve memory efficiency include selecting compact data structures (for example, using bit‑packing or
Balance is essential: aggressively optimizing for minneeffektivitet can sometimes degrade code readability, maintainability, or even lead
