Class-based dynamic memory slot allocation

A method comprising:

• accessing, from a configuration register, resource allocation constraints for a plurality of classes, the resource allocation constraints including a first threshold and a second threshold for each class of the plurality of classes, each first threshold defining a minimum number of memory slots to be made available for allocation to a class of the plurality of classes, each second threshold defining a maximum number of memory slots to be allocated to the class of the plurality of classes;
• receiving, from a requestor assigned to a particular class, a memory slot allocation request, the memory slot allocation request specifying a requested number of memory slots for allocation to the requestor;
• determining that allocation of the requested number of memory slots to the requestor results in satisfaction of the resource allocation constraints for the plurality of classes;
• and
• granting the memory slot allocation request based on determining that allocation of the requested number of memory slots to the requestor results in satisfaction of the resource allocation constraints of the plurality of classes, the granting of the memory slot allocation request including allocating, from at least one memory component of the plurality of memory components, the requested number of memory slots to the requestor.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• accessing, from a configuration register, resource allocation constraints for a plurality of classes, the resource allocation constraints including a first threshold and a second threshold for each class of the plurality of classes, each minimum threshold defining a minimum number of memory slots to be made available for allocation to a class of the plurality of classes, each second threshold defining a maximum number of memory slots to be allocated to the class of the plurality of classes;
• pre-allocating a memory slot for a particular class;
• receiving, from a requestor assigned to the particular class, a memory slot allocation request, the memory slot allocation request specifying a requested number of memory slots for allocation to the requestor;
• determining that allocation of the requested number of memory slots to the requestor results in satisfaction of the resource allocation constraints for the plurality of classes;
• and
• granting the memory slot allocation request based on determining that allocation of the requested number of memory slots to the requestor results in satisfaction of the resource allocation constraints of the plurality of classes, the granting of the memory slot allocation request including granting the pre-allocated memory slot to the requestor.
