摘要：A method of memory allocation in a host computer includes: allocating one ormore regions of physical working memory for use by an application, the regionsindividually including contiguous physical memory segments, but the regions notnecessarily being contiguous between themselves; generating a segment address tablehaving at least as many entries as the total number of physical memory segmentsallocated to the application; populating entries of the segment address tablesequentially and contiguously with the physical addresses of the physical memorysegments across the or each region in order; presenting to the application a contiguousvirtual addressable space having at least as many virtual memory segments as the totalnumber of physical memory segments allocated to the application; and mapping fromvirtual memory addresses to physical memory addresses by reference to the segmentaddress table.
