Doubly Indexed Memory Allocator

Description

Keywords:	Real-Time, Dynamic Memory, DIDMA, malloc, free
Description:	This component provides dynamic memory allocation with real time characteristics (malloc and free). The allocator implemented in this component is a new algorithm specially designed with the aim of obtaining bounded response time. The new algorithm is called TLSF Two Level Segregated Fit (the first versions were called DYDMA). It is based on the use of a pure segregated strategy. See [Paul 95] for an exhaustive taxonomy and review of existing DSA algorithms. The code is provided as a library that can be compiled to be used in several environments: Linux kernel, RTLinux, and Linux applications.
