jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes
|
|
fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support.
|
|
|
|
jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005.
|
|
In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer
|
|
support features such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, and
|
|
extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Ongoing development efforts trend
|
|
toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of
|
|
demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that
|
|
have practical repercussions for real world applications.
