A new implementation technique for memory management
Mehran Rezaei, Krishna M. Kavi · 2002
Dynamic memory management is an important and essential part of computer systems design. Efficient memory allocation, garbage collection and compaction are becoming increasingly more critical in parallel, distributed and real-time applications using object-oriented languages like C++ and Java. We present a technique that uses a binary tree for the list of available memory blocks and show how this method can manage memory more efficiently and facilitate easy implementation of well known garbage collection techniques.
