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.
