MEMORY POOLING IN SEGMENTED MEMORY ARCHITECTURE

Methods and computing systems for managing memory are disclosed. One computing system implementing a memory management scheme includes a plurality of memory pools formed in a segment-addressable memory, each of the memory pools including one or more pool areas having a common size and a size class, wherein the size class defines a maximum amount of memory able to be allocated from the memory pool. The computing system includes a memory management system interfaced to the segment-addressable memory, the memory management system including one or more memory pool tracking lists configured to track usage of the plurality of memory pools.
