  • System and method for heuristically allocating memory
    Patent number: 6430665
    Abstract: Methods and systems consistent with the invention allocate memory of a memory array using a free list. The free list is a list of pointers to blocks of free memory located within the memory array. First, the system determines whether to sort the free list based on deallocation activity of the memory array. If so, the system sorts the free list according to the memory size of the blocks of free memory pointed to by the free list. The system then allocates memory of the memory array for the storage of data using the sorted free list.
