Computer languages often required a way to dynamically allocate memory, which means that memory is acquired while the program is running. This contrasts with static memory allocation. The project simply is a simple memory manager, which allow the user to allocate and release memory, tracking of available memory, used, and how much memory is used, the next memory available, etc.
Memory Management is initialized with 3 slots of 2-bit memory tracking known as memory system header: Next free memory index, In-use memory head, and Used memory head. Memory block structure that will be allocated after memory system structure included 3 sections: the first section holds memory size, the second section holds the last memory header index, the third section hold the next available memory index, and the final fourth section will be the amount of 2-bit block memory size.
Example of how the code operate on allocating memory:
1. Empty Memory Table
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | A | B | C | D | E | F | |
| 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | |||||||||||||
| 1 | ||||||||||||||||
| 2 | ||||||||||||||||
| 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| 4 | ||||||||||||||||
| 5 |
2. Allocating first memory block size of 7
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | A | B | C | D | E | F | |
| 0 | D | 3 | 0 | 7 | 0 | D | / | / | / | / | / | / | / | |||
| 1 | ||||||||||||||||
| 2 | ||||||||||||||||
| 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| 4 | ||||||||||||||||
| 5 |
3. Allocating second memory black of size 10
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | A | B | C | D | E | F | |
| 0 | 1A | 0D | 03 | 7 | 0 | D | / | / | / | / | / | / | / | 10 | 3 | 1A |
| 1 | / | / | / | / | / | / | / | / | / | / | ||||||
| 2 | ||||||||||||||||
| 3 | ||||||||||||||||
| 4 | ||||||||||||||||
