Abstract
Advances in software engineering, such as graphical user interface and object-oriented programming, have caused applications to become more memory intensive. The growing popularity of these applications increases the importance of high-performance dynamic memory management. This paper introduces a new data structure intended to increase the efficiency of implementations of common dynamic memory allocation and deallocation algorithms, including First Fit. The data structure, called the Common List, establishes a relationship between the allocated and free list. This strategy increases significantly the deallocation performance. Simulation results based on the traces from publicly available software applications are presented.
