ABSTRACT:
In a digital data processing system having a memory component, a structure and method for managing available memory resources. Free pointers to respective free memory blocks are stored in memory blocks maintained as a linked list. In a system having a hierarchically-organized memory component, a small number of the free pointers are maintained at a relatively higher performance level of the memory and the balance of the free pointers are maintained at a relatively lower performance level of the memory.
