The present disclosure is related to multidimensional contiguous memory allocation. Multidimensional contiguous memory allocation can include receiving an allocation request for an amount of memory that is contiguous in a multiple dimensions of the memory and determining whether the memory includes a region corresponding to the requested amount that is a candidate as being unallocated based on information indicating a maximum number of contiguous unallocated allocable portions of the memory. In response to determining that the memory includes the candidate region, the method can include determining whether the candidate region is unallocated based on a subset of information indicating whether each allocable portion of the memory is allocated. The subset of information corresponds to the candidate region only.
