heap vs non-heap memory

807601Jan 9 2008 — edited Jan 9 2008
On the link below, I read about heap memory and non-heap memory.
What is the difference ???

Until so far, I just thought that a heap was just the area in memory in which objects are created, but apearently it's more then that.

quote "The chart shows the memory usage over time, for heap and non-heap memory, and for specific memory pools."
