Abstract
A process of efficiently managing working storage that unifies the use of queues of fixed size free storage blocks and a global list of blocks of random size. The process implements continuous garbage collection that continually purges unused storage blocks from the fixed size queues to ensure maximum free storage availability. Data processing system throughput is enhanced by reducing the processor overhead required to allocate and return free storage blocks and by reducing the overhead required to manage temporary extensions of working storage.
