Abstract

A method and system for memory management is disclosed. The disclosed method and system can prevent performance degradation due to automatic garbage collection associated with memory allocation for image processing. An image processing program includes two program modules. The first program modules is composed with a first language supporting a garbage collection feature but does not have a direct memory access which may trigger the garbage collection feature. The second program module is composed with a second language lacking the garbage collection feature. The image processing program delegates memory allocation for image processing to the second program module to prevent unnecessary activation of the garbage collection feature.
