jemalloc is a general-purpose scalable concurrent malloc(3) implementation.
This distribution is a "portable" implementation that currently targets
FreeBSD, Linux, Apple OS X, and MinGW. jemalloc is included as the default
allocator in the FreeBSD and NetBSD operating systems, and it is used by the
Mozilla Firefox web browser on Microsoft Windows-related platforms. Depending
on your needs, one of the other divergent versions may suit your needs better
than this distribution.
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, Valgrind integration, 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.
