Communications of the ACM, 1968•dl.acm.orgIn many recent computer system designs, hardware facilities have been provided for easing
the problems of storage allocation. A method of characterizing dynamic storage allocation
systems--accordlng to the functional capabilities provided and the underlying techniques
used--is presented. The basic purpose of the paper is to provide a useful perspective from
which the utility of Various hardware facilities may be assessed. A brief survey of storage
allocation facilities in several representative computer systems is included as an appendix.
