Abstract
Memory management in a computer system is described. Memory is allocated within page-aligned real memory storage to requesting processes. During a normal operation mode, pages of the real memory storage are allocated in accordance with a buddy allocation algorithm. A triggering condition is detected. Responsive to the detection, at least one contiguous page-sized or smaller memory segment that violates the buddy allocation algorithm is allocated to a requesting process.
