1 jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes 2 fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came 3 into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its 4 way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 5 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features 6 such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, and extensive monitoring/tuning 7 hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, 8 and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend 9 toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding 10 applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical 11 repercussions for real world applications. 12 13 The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. 14 15 The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install 16 jemalloc. 17 18 The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. 19 20 URL: http://jemalloc.net/ 21
