ABSTRACT:
A modified buddy system memory allocator of an apparatus in an example receives a request for a size of memory. The modified buddy system memory allocator identifies a plurality of contiguous, differently-sized memory blocks that are each smaller than the size of memory from the request. The modified buddy system memory allocator allocates the plurality of contiguous, differently-sized memory blocks to satisfy the request for the size of memory.
