Restorable memory allocator

An information processing system comprising:

• a memory;
• a processor communicatively coupled to the memory;
• and
• a restorable memory allocator communicatively coupled to the memory and the processor, the restorable memory allocation configured to perform a method comprising:
• extracting a set of memory allocation metadata from a memory heap space;
• identifying, based on the extracting, process dependent information and process independent information from the set of memory allocation metadata, the process dependent information and the process independent information at least identifying a set of virtual memory addresses available in the memory heap space and a set of virtual memory addresses allocated to a process associated with the memory heap space;
• and
• at least one of
• storing, based on identifying the process dependent information and process independent information, a set of allocation data associated with the memory heap space in a persistent storage, and
• replicating, based on identifying the process dependent information and process independent information, the set of allocation data to a different failure domain,
• wherein the set of allocation data comprises the process independent allocation information and a starting address associated with the memory heap space.

A computer program product comprising comprises a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method, the method comprising:

• extracting a set of memory allocation metadata from a memory heap space;
• identifying, based on the extracting, process dependent information and process independent information identifying from the set of memory allocation metadata, the process dependent information and the process independent information at least identifying a set of virtual memory addresses available in the memory heap space and a set of virtual memory addresses allocated to a process associated with the memory heap space;
• and
• at least one of
• storing, based on identifying the process dependent information and process independent information, a set of allocation data associated with the memory heap space in a persistent storage, and
• replicating, based on identifying the process dependent information and process independent information, the set of allocation data to a different failure domain, wherein the set of allocation data comprises the process independent allocation information and a starting address associated with the memory heap space.
