Abstract
A memory allocator is provided for each processor resource in a process of a computer system. Each memory allocator includes a set of pages, a locally freed list of objects, and a remotely freed list of objects. Each memory allocator requests the pages from an operating system and allocates objects to all execution contexts executing on a corresponding processing resource. Each memory allocator attempts to allocate an object from the locally freed list before allocating an object from the remotely freed list or an allocated page.
