Memory Pool

A memory pool is a reserved area of computer memory used to efficiently manage multiple small data allocations. Instead of requesting and releasing memory from the system repeatedly, which can be slow and fragmented, a memory pool allocates a large block upfront. When new data is needed, it quickly assigns space from this pool, and when data is no longer needed, it recycles that space within the same pool. This approach improves performance and reduces fragmentation, making it especially useful in high-performance applications like gaming or real-time systems where fast, predictable memory management is critical.
