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