1754	 Dynamic Storage Allocation Systems	 In many recent computer system designs hardware facilities have been provided for easing the problems of storage allocation. A method of characterizing dynamic storage allocation systems-according to the functional capabilities provided and the underlying techniques used-is presented. The basic purpose of the paper is to provide a useful perspective from which the utility of various hardware facilities may be assessed. A brief survey of storage allocation facilities in several representative computer systems is included as an appendix. segmentation paging multiprogramming storage allocation storage management virtual memories storage fragmentation storage hierarchies addressing mechanisms
