Abstract: A mechanism is provided for leasing fragmented storage between processes. The mechanism comprises a fragmented memory manager associated with instances of virtual memory managers to provide a pool of memory that may lease from the owners of the memory and in turn sub-let the memory for use by other processes or owners. The mechanism allows programs to operate under normal conditions until fragmentation sets. A different memory manager leases those fragmented memory blocks from processes to create a virtually contiguous block of memory that it can sub-lease to processes in need of temporary expansion beyond the memory available for the processes under normal circumstances.

Abstract: A system for provisioning an output device, may include a processor; a memory; and a records display program. The records display program may be executed by the processor to maintain an indication of availability dates and times of one or more output devices connected to the network; to receive an output device invitation indicating a first output device to reserve at a meeting conducted over a conferencing system; to determine whether the first output device is available for reservation during a date and time period of the meeting; and to communicate to the first output device activation information indicating that the first output device is to become active at a first predetermined date and time related to the date and time period of the meeting and login information including a first credential for the first output device to use for logging into the conferencing system for the meeting.
