A method, comprising:
- in response to a first function call operating on a first processor, allocating a first memory segment within a shared memory to the first processor, wherein the shared memory includes a plurality of memory segments including the first memory segment;
- providing the first processor with accessibility to the first memory segment;
- in response to a second function call operating on a second processor, allocating a second memory segment within a remaining portion of the shared memory to the second processor;
- providing the second processor with accessibility to the second memory segment;
- in response to a third function call operating on a first processor, allocating a third memory segment within the remaining portion of the shared memory to the first processor;
- and
- providing the first processor with accessibility to the third memory segment,
- wherein the second function call is made between the first function call and the third function call.
