Abstract
A method of managing an integrated circuit memory includes identifying a set of allocated regions and a set of empty regions spanning a memory space of an integrated circuit card, selecting the biggest empty region of the set of empty regions, determining that an allocated memory block of an allocated region immediately adjacent to the biggest empty region is larger than the biggest remaining empty region of the memory space, storing the allocated memory block in a temporary list of skipped memory blocks, removing the allocated memory block from the set of allocated memory regions, and swapping the allocated memory block with a remaining empty region to widen the biggest empty region.
