COMPUTER MEMORY MANAGEMENT IN COMPUTING DEVICES

Techniques for computer memory management are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes in response to receiving a request for allocation of memory, determining whether the request is for allocation from a first memory region or a second memory region of the physical memory. The first memory region has first memory subregions of a first size and the second memory region having second memory subregions of a second size larger than the first size of the first memory region. The method further includes in response to determining that the request for allocation of memory is for allocation from the first or second memory region, allocating a portion of the first or second multiple memory subregions of the first or second memory region, respectively, in response to the request.
