Abstract
Disclosed is a method of allocating a buffer memory to a plurality of data storage zones. In some implementations, the method may include comparing a free buffer space size to a reallocation threshold size that is re-allocable at a reallocation cycle, deallocating, upon a determination that the free buffer space size is smaller than the reallocation threshold size, at least a portion of an occupied buffer space size to create a new free buffer space based on a history of buffer memory utilization of the occupied buffer space, and allocating the existing free buffer space and the new free buffer space to targeted data storage zones based on history of buffer memory utilizations corresponding to the targeted data storage zones.
