dynamic memory allocation
(redirected from Dynamic storage)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

dynamic memory allocation

Reserving memory in a program moment to moment, as needed, without having to reserve a fixed amount when the program starts up. All modern operating systems perform dynamic memory allocation for their own use as well as providing an API function such as "malloc" (memory allocate) to allow applications to do the same. See garbage collection.
