Abstract
Methods, apparatus, and systems, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, manage an address space. In some implementations, a method includes managing an allocation data structure for a memory, wherein the allocation data structure indicates groupings of memory space, each of the groupings having a different associated integer, and each of the groupings serving memory space in portions equal to a unit of memory space allocation times the associated integer for that grouping; receiving a request for allocation within the memory, wherein the request has an associated number of the unit of memory space allocation; and selecting one of the groupings from which to serve the request for allocation within the memory based on the associated number in comparison with values obtained using the different associated integers as an exponent.
