/*
 * Internal fragmentation metric: describes how fragmented the heap regions are.

 *              C * sum(used[i], i=0..k)

 *   a) Heap is completely full  => IF = 0
 *   b) Heap is half full, first 50% regions are completely full => IF = 0
 *   c) Heap is half full, each region is 50% full => IF = 1/2

 * External fragmentation metric: describes how fragmented the heap is.

 * It is derived as:
 *
 *   EF = 1 - largest_contiguous_free / total_free
 *
 * For example:
 *   a) Heap is completely empty => EF = 0
 *   b) Heap is completely full => EF = 0
 *   c) Heap is first-half full => EF = 1/2
 *   d) Heap is half full, full and empty regions interleave => EF =~ 1
