1*a0698ed9Schristosjemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes 2*a0698ed9Schristosfragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came 3*a0698ed9Schristosinto use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its 4*a0698ed9Schristosway into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 5*a0698ed9Schristosjemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features 6*a0698ed9Schristossuch as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc 7*a0698ed9Schristosreleases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility 8*a0698ed9Schristosremains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc 9*a0698ed9Schristosamong the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and 10*a0698ed9Schristoseliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real 11*a0698ed9Schristosworld applications. 12*a0698ed9Schristos 13*a0698ed9SchristosThe COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. 14*a0698ed9Schristos 15*a0698ed9SchristosThe INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install 16*a0698ed9Schristosjemalloc. 17*a0698ed9Schristos 18*a0698ed9SchristosThe ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. 19*a0698ed9Schristos 20*a0698ed9SchristosURL: http://jemalloc.net/ 21
