Free memory of a computing device, dynamic management of free memory subdivided into at least two logic memory areas with different access characteristics

摘要

The invention concerns a method of managing a free store in a computer, the free store being designed for subdivision into at least two logic zones with different access characteristics, the subdivision into segments being carried out by buddy algorithm. The method proposed is particularly suitable for time-critical applications with high security requirements. In particular, the method satisfies the requirements for stepwise resettability and for storage protection which is efficient in terms of operating time, as called for by telecommunications equipment.
