Abstract

An efficient bit table technique for dynamic storage allocation of 2n-word blocks, which requires a minimized amount of memory for bookkeeping purposes, is described. The technique has been tested in an implementation of the list processing language L6. A number of ideas incorporated in the processor are also described.
