MEMORY POOLS WITH MOVING MEMORY BLOCKS

摘要

Method for dynamically allocating/de-allocating memory pools (0, 1, 2, 3) in a physical memory of a computer comprising the steps of: allocating a memory area (4) for said memory pools (0, 1, 2, 3) within said physical memory, allocating said at least one memory block (2a, 2b) within each of said at least one memory pool (0, 1, 2, 3), and writing data in said at least one memory block (2a). To enable dynamic memory allocation, and to reduce memory fragmentation it is proposed that said at least one memory block (2a) is de-allocated after said at least one memory block(2a) is marked empty, and that at least one memory block (2a) is re-allocated within said memory area (4), whereby said memory block (2a) is moved within said memory area (4) during said de-allocation/re-allocation of said at least one memory block (2a, 2b).
