ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method, computer program product and system for a general purpose dynamic memory allocator that is completely lock-free, and immune to deadlock, even when presented with the possibility of arbitrary thread failures and regardless of thread scheduling. Further the invention does not require special hardware or scheduler support and does not require the initialization of substantial portions of the address space.
