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 and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc 7releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility 8remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc 9among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and 10eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real 11world 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://jemalloc.net/ 21
