The new feature, opt.percpu_arena, determines thread-arena association dynamically based CPU id. Three modes are supported: "percpu", "phycpu" and disabled. "percpu" uses the current core id (with help from sched_getcpu()) directly as the arena index, while "phycpu" will assign threads on the same physical CPU to the same arena. In other words, "percpu" means # of arenas == # of CPUs, while "phycpu" has # of arenas == 1/2 * (# of CPUs). Note that no runtime check on whether hyper threading is enabled is added yet. When enabled, threads will be migrated between arenas when a CPU change is detected. In the current design, to reduce overhead from reading CPU id, each arena tracks the thread accessed most recently. When a new thread comes in, we will read CPU id and update arena if necessary. |

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. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: http://jemalloc.net/
