Abstract
A memory management system for managing objects which represent memory in a multi-threaded operating system extracts the ID of the home free-list from the object header to determine whether the object is remote and adds the object to a remote object list if the object is determined to be remote. The memory management system determines whether the number of objects on the remote object list exceeds a threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the system batch-removes the objects on the remote object list and then adds those objects to the appropriate one or more remote home free-lists.
