Abstract
The present disclosure relates to utilizing a buffer management system to efficiently manage and deallocate memory buffers utilized by multiple processing roles on computer hardware devices. For example, the buffer management system utilizes distributed decentralized memory buffer monitoring in connection with augmented buffer pointers to deallocate memory buffers accurately and efficiently. In this manner, the buffer management system provides an efficient approach for multiple processing roles to consume source data stored in a memory buffer and to deallocate the buffer only after all roles have finished using it.
