Abstract
The paper describes the basic design of a special purpose processor for the dynamic allocation of storage space which operates parallel to and independently of the CPU. Information about the occupied/released status of the storage cells is held in two separate bit planes in the form of tag bits. The processor handles requests for and releases of storage space, returning and receiving base addresses, respectively.
