Abstract
An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented method for estimating heap fragmentation in real time, models a runtime view of free heap memory, models a runtime view of heap allocation patterns for the heap memory and takes a snapshot of the heap memory. A batch allocator simulator is executed at a predetermined event and a remaining amount of memory unused in the simulation is identified as fragmented memory.
