  • Patent number: 8069330
    Abstract: A memory management system for a process formulated in the C/C++ language in a processing unit includes an allocator which processes memory blocks of predetermined size, for example 64 Kb. Large objects are defined as being objects having a size of between 256 and 64 Kb. For such objects, 64 Kb memory block is considered to be a memory region (“chunk”) able to accommodate several large objects of different sizes. When an object is no longer used by the process, the space freed can be returned to the operating system. Before this, this free space is merged with adjacent free spaces. To search for adjacent free spaces, the Bruijn sequence algorithm is used, applied to the bit field disposed in each predetermined memory region.
