Abstract
A memory allocation message for each primary memory allocation in a primary memory made by a primary processor is received at a hardware memory management module. A representation of each primary memory allocation is allocated within a second memory in response to each memory allocation message. A determination is made, based upon the allocated representations of each primary memory allocation within the second memory, to free a primary memory allocation in the primary memory. A memory free message is sent to the primary processor instructing the primary processor to free the primary memory allocation in the primary memory.
