Abstract
A process and associated system comprise pre-allocating a portion of memory in a first processor based upon a control input and determining in a second processor if the portion of the pre-allocated memory can satisfy a memory allocation request. Further, if a portion of pre-allocated memory can satisfy a memory allocation request, the technique includes assigning the pre-allocated portion of memory to the allocation request. However, if a portion of pre-allocated memory cannot satisfy a memory allocation request, the technique includes allocating a portion of memory in the first processor to the allocation request.
