When you call a function, the stack pointer is adjusted to cater for the function's arguments (if any), the caller's return address (mandatory), the function's local variables (if any) and the function's exception handlers (if any).
The processor time is a function of the processor. The memory allocation is a function of the operating system.
Linked lists use dynamic memory allocation (also called "heap memory allocation", as the linked list is stored in heap memory).
There are two types of memory allocations. 1. Static memory allocation 2. Dynamic memory allocation
To dynamically allocate memory, use the following function (stdlib.h I believe): int *variable1 = malloc(sizeof(int));

alloc :- to allocate memory. calloc :- to free the memory.
free()
When the allocation of memory to the program is done on need, during the execution of a program, it is called as the dynamic memory allocation. Memory is allocated from a free memory pool called as heap.The only way to access this dynamically allocated memory is through pointers. Dynamically allocated memory can be freed at run time and again added to heap.

Contiguous memory allocation in C programming refers to the assigning of consecutive memory blocks to a process. Contiguous memory allocation is one of the oldest and most popular memory allocation schemes in programming.
Static Memory Allocation: Allocating the total memory requirements that a data structure might need all at once without regard for the actual amount needed at execution time. Dynamic Memory Allocation: The opposite strategy of static memory allocation - Dynamic Memory Allocation, involves allocating memory as-needed.
Memory allocation: When a program asks for memory and gets it. Contiguous allocation: When the memory is in one big block, for example memory addresses 1000-2000, as opposed to "fragmented allocation" where the memory comes as several smaller blocks in different places, for example memory addresses 1000-1050, 2050-2125, ...
Memory allocation is not necessary to display a matrix.
