 If no block satisfying the request is available it returns a NULL pointer.
 
+=== void* '''_malloc'''( unsigned int size ) === 
+This function returns a pointer (virtual address) on a physical memory block located in cluster[x][y], where (x,y) are the coordinates of the cluster containing the processor running the calling task.
+ * '''size''' : number of requested bytes
+The requested block size can be any value, but the allocated block can be larger than requested: the actual size is the smallest power of 2 value larger or equal to the requested size. The base address is always aligned. 
+If no block satisfying the request is available it returns a NULL pointer.
