allocators
Those who apportion
Allocators are people or systems that distribute resources among competing uses.
A budget allocator divides funds across departments.
In computing, a memory allocator manages how programs claim and release memory: The custom allocator improved performance significantly.
The term appears in finance, programming, and any domain where limited resources must be parceled out.
