Heap Fragmentation

Heap Fragmentation is a phenomenon in memory management where the free space within the heap becomes divided into small, non-contiguous blocks over time, reducing the efficiency of memory allocation despite sufficient total free memory, thereby distinguishing it from other forms of memory inefficiency by its focus on spatial discontiguity within the heap.
