Abstract

Allocation of pages of memory is managed in computing environments that include multiple sized memory pools. Responsive to a request for a page of memory, one or more memory pools are searched for an available frame of memory to service the request. The search uses a predefined order of search, which includes multiple types of memory pools in a specific order based on the requested size of the page of memory.
