| Abstract: |
Focuses on a class of dynamic storage allocation systems which use a first-fit strategy to allocate cells for the dynamic memory allocation in garbage collection systems. Stochastic parameters that determine the utilization of memory in the allocation systems; Lifetime distributions of the cells described in the stochastic parameters; Requirements for noncompacting garbage collection. |
