==High Performance Memory Allocator - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17954540 titled 'High Performance Memory Allocator

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a memory allocator for assigning contiguous memory space for data packets in on-chip memory of a network interface card.

* The memory allocator includes a plurality of sub-allocators that correspond to a structure of entries, where each entry represents a quanta of memory allocation.
* The sub-allocators are organized in decreasing size in the memory allocator based on the amount of memory quanta they can allocate.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various networking devices and systems where efficient memory allocation for data packets is crucial, such as routers, switches, and network servers.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Efficient memory allocation: The memory allocator helps in efficiently assigning memory space for data packets in on-chip memory, optimizing the overall performance of the network interface card.
2. Contiguous memory allocation: By assigning contiguous memory space, the technology reduces fragmentation and improves data packet processing speed.

== Benefits ==
1. Improved performance: The memory allocator enhances the performance of the network interface card by efficiently managing memory allocation.
2. Reduced fragmentation: Contiguous memory allocation reduces fragmentation, leading to smoother data packet processing.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Memory Allocator for Efficient Data Packet Processing in Network Interface Cards"

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be memory allocation techniques used in network devices and systems prior to the development of this memory allocator.

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the memory allocator handle memory allocation requests from multiple data packets simultaneously? ===
The patent application does not provide specific details on how the memory allocator manages concurrent memory allocation requests.

=== What impact does the memory allocator have on the power consumption of the network interface card? ===
The patent application does not address the potential impact of the memory allocator on the power consumption of the network interface card.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Aspects of the disclosure are directed to a memory allocator for assigning contiguous memory space for data packets in on-chip memory of a network interface card. The memory allocator includes a plurality of sub-allocators that correspond to a structure of entries, where each entry represents a quanta of memory allocation. The sub-allocators are organized in decreasing size in the memory allocator based on the amount of memory quanta they can allocate.
