Allocation Blocks

Allocation blocks refer to fixed units of memory or resources set aside for specific purposes in computing and storage. When a program or system needs to store data, it requests a certain number of these blocks. Each block holds a predefined amount of data, facilitating efficient management and retrieval. By organizing data into blocks, systems can optimize performance, minimize wasted space, and enhance data retrieval speeds. This method is commonly used in file systems, databases, and memory management, ensuring that resources are allocated in a structured manner, allowing for better organization and accessibility of information.
