BFD (Best-Fit Decreasing)

Best-Fit Decreasing (BFD) is a strategy used to efficiently allocate resources, such as memory or storage, by first sorting items from largest to smallest. The algorithm then places each item into the tightest available space where it fits, minimizing wasted space. This approach aims to optimize utilization by ensuring each item fits into the most suitable existing gap, reducing leftover unused areas and improving overall efficiency. BFD is commonly used in tasks like memory management and bin packing, balancing thoroughness with computational simplicity.
