GitHub - SofiaNaer/Buddy_System---Memory-allocation-technique: Static partition schemes suffer from the limitation of having the fixed number of active processes and the usage of space may also not be optimal. The buddy system is a memory allocation and management algorithm that manages memory in power of two increments. Assume the memory size is 2U, suppose a size of S is required. If 2U-1<S<=2U: Allocate the whole block Else: Recursively divide the block equally and test the condition at each time, when it satisfies, allocate the block and get out the loop. System also keep the record of all the unallocated blocks each and can merge these different size blocks to make one big chunk.
