jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizesfragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support.  jemalloc first cameinto use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found itsway into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior.  In 2010jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support featuressuch as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks.  Modern jemallocreleases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatilityremains critical.  Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemallocamong the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, andeliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for realworld applications.The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information.The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and installjemalloc.The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release.URL:https://jemalloc.net/
