ABSTRACT:
A method for optimizing dynamic memory pool structures is presented. The size of unusable segments of dynamic memory is determined dynamically and those small segments are safely removed from the dynamic memory pool and placed on a separate list. Periodically or when dynamic memory is in heavy demand, the contents of the separate list are agglomerated and returned to dynamic memory for use. Consequently the time taken to search for a suitably-sized segment of dynamic memory is reduced considerably.
