Memory is essential for the functioning of a computer—for programs to load and run, and for information to be generated and stored in a retrievable format. The allocation and deallocation of memory by a memory allocator is essential for efficient...

In computer science, dynamic memory allocation is the allocation of memory storage for use in a computer program during the runtime of that program. It is a way of distributing ownership of limited memory resources among many pieces of data and code....

Techniques for dynamically allocating memory are discussed. Those who maintain large-scale legacy systems usually work with both a batch and an online component, and 'Sev1' difficulties are common. The difference between the actual number of items in a table and its capacity is wasted...

This paper studies task allocation in computational grids operating in a dynamic and uncertain environment. Computational grids consist of loosely coupled heterogeneous resources or agents with finite buffer capacities. These grids are primarily used to process large-scale applications consisting of several interdependent tasks. The...
