Abstract
Various systems and methods are provided that facilitate deferred memory allocation. In one method, an attempt to allocate an amount of memory for an application thread is made. If the attempt was unsuccessful and if the application thread is designated for deferred memory allocation, then the application thread is stored in a holding queue. Once the application thread is stored in the holding queue, periodic attempts are made to reallocate the amount of memory for the application thread.
