Stack memory allocation control based on monitored activities

A device, comprising:

• a stack memory allocation controller comprising:
• a memory blocks pool configured to provide a status of a respective memory block of a set of memory blocks of a memory whether the respective memory block is being used by a stack associated with execution of a thread of a set of threads by a processor;
• and
• a stack use manager configured to:
• based on that a subset of memory blocks of the set of memory blocks is being used by stacks of the set of threads, for the respective memory block of the subset of memory blocks, determine a size of the respective memory block for usage by the stack of a thread of the set of threads;
• based on the determined sizes of the respective memory blocks, determine an adjustment to allocation of the subset of memory blocks;
• and
• based on the adjustment to allocation of the subset of memory blocks, determine a mapping of pointers to the subset of memory blocks being used by the set of threads, not a second subset of the set of memory blocks not being used by the set of threads.

A method, comprising:

• determining a status of a memory block of a set of memory blocks of a memory, which is allocated to a stack associated with execution of a thread of a set of threads by a processor, whether the memory block is being used by the thread;
• based on that the memory block is being used by the stack of the thread, determining a size of the memory block needed for usage by the stack of the thread;
• based on the determined size of the memory block, determining an adjustment to allocation of the memory block;
• and
• based on the adjustment to allocation of the memory block, determine a mapping of pointers to a subset of the set of memory blocks, including the memory block, that is being used by the set of threads, not a remainder of the set of memory blocks that is not being used by the set of threads.
