Abstract
Recent papers by Reeves on modelling memory allocation analyse the distributions of allocated and free blocks under random allocations and releases. Here we offer an interpretation for the lack of a mathematical equilibrium solution at low storage utilizations. Insight into the physical reasons for that situation is obtained by comparison with stack allocation, and with ‘spaghetti stack’ allocation systems.Keywords
