Abstract
A system includes a plurality of hardware resources, one or more processors configured to execute one or more programs to perform one or more operations; and a resource allocator configured to implement resource allocation of the plurality of hardware resources to a set of hardware threads. The resource allocation of the plurality of hardware resources is performed by: implementing a linked list comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein each of the plurality of nodes includes respective information regarding at least one of a next node or a previous node; allocating in a first order one or more ranges of free resources of the plurality of hardware resources to one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes; and releasing allocated nodes out-of-order in a second order distinct from the first order.
