Abstract
A system and method for allocating memory blocks and indexing the pointer to the memory blocks in a set of tables. The tables translate the pointers to the memory blocks enabling the efficient lookup of pointers during translation and garbage collection. The memory blocks further include structures for facilitating the indexing into tables and referencing pointers into allocated memory.
