Memory pools?


Is there a memory pool sub-allocator in ECOS?

Here's the deal, my chip has two memories in disjoint address space. A large memory, and a small but low latency memory. Question is how to present that to the programmer. In other OS's there were ways to alloc a big chunk of memory and then sub allocate within that block to prevent memory fragmentation. Is there a similiar mechanism in ecos, and I could just fake it out with the addresses of my small memory?

Alternately is there a simple/free memory allocator I can use somewhere?

Thanks,

-john
