Free store distribution under random fit allocation: part 2

C. M. Reeves *

Department of Computer Science, University of Keele, Keele, UK

The paper extends the earlier analysis in Part I of external fragmentation in dynamic storage allocation under the random fit strategy. A duality is exposed between free store fragmentation and the clustering of reservations. A revised prediction, in the case of single word reservations, of a lower threshold of 48% store utilisation to yield a stable free store profile, is confirmed by simulation experiments. A new theoretical model is developed for low store utilisations.

Received February 1979.
