Dynamic Storage Allocation Systems In many recent computer system designs, hardware facilities have been provided for easing the problems of storage allocation. A method of characterizing dynamic storage allocation systems-according to the functional capabilities provided and the underlying techniques used-is presented. The basic purpose of the paper is to provide a useful perspective from which the utility of various hardware facilities may be assessed. A brief survey of storage allocation facilities in several representative computer systems is included as an appendix. CACM May, 1968 Randell, B. Kuehner, C.
