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, and since then it has found its
|
|
way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010
|
|
jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features
|
|
such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc
|
|
releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility
|
|
remains critical. 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.
