The present invention is a method of allocating memory storage in a memory storage space commonly shared by multiple processors. The method allocates a minimum apparent memory storage space equal to one cache line and in response to storing an object, said object occupying a memory storage space equal to less than one cache line, the method determines the value of a variable. The method then allocates said memory storage space for said object based on the value of said variable and updates said variable.
