Roadmap

Phase 1: Working allocator
w1. Key card, examiner, Buddy allocator
w2. Test cases: programs using malloc()/free().

w3. Compacting, introducing lock()/unlock()
w4. Modified test cases using lock()/unlock().

Phase 2: Iterative optimizations

* Compact memory representation

* Profiling:

- allocate at alloc() or lock()?

- free at free() or next alloc()?
* GC strategy:
- generations?
- ...
* Per-program allocator behaviour configuration

Phase 3: Report
w9-w12.
