MEMORY PIECE CATEGORIZATION

摘要

A memory management system for managing memory of a processing device and a corresponding method thereof are described. The system comprises a memory manager and a garbage collector. The memory manager is configured to allocate memory after dividing discrete units of memory into smaller units. The garbage collector is configured to organize a memory availability collection of free units of memory in the memory manager. The collection is ordered based on at least one of the amount of each of the discrete units available and the allocation age of the discrete units.
