Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to memory management. In aspects, a hierarchical, customized memory allocator may be created that allocates memory to memory consumers. The memory allocator may use a data structure to classify blocks of memory at each level in the hierarchy according to fill factors of the blocks of memory. Allocations may be based on lifetime characteristics, proximity to consumer, fill factor, and other factors. An allocator may use one or more active blocks to allocate memory to consumers. The number of active blocks for an allocator may depend on contention.
