An extension of the buddy method, called the weighted buddy method, for dynamic storage allocation is presented. The weighted buddy method allows block sizes of 2
k and 3·2
k, whereas the original buddy method allowed only block …

Finite-length reference string of arbitrary structure are considered, and an exact expression for average working set size in terms of “corrected” interreference interval statistics is derived. An example is discussed; upper
