ABSTRACT:
In a computer system, a descriptive memory allocation system is described having a memory policy allocation module for setting memory allocation policies by an operating system in response to descriptive resource use requirements provided by an application requesting access to a specified address range in memory. The descriptive memory allocation system includes a descriptive resource allocator that uses descriptive memory use advice provided by an application to decide how to allocate memory to the application. The descriptive resource allocator includes memory allocation policies that may be set by the operating system after the operating system has determined the appropriate allocation scheme to implement based on an allocation advice provided by a requesting after the application. The application in providing its descriptive memory use information does not specify a specific allocation policy the operating system should use to allocate memory to it.
