| jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes | |
| fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came | |
| into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its | |
| way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 | |
| jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features | |
| such as heap profiling, Valgrind integration, and extensive monitoring/tuning | |
| hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, | |
| and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend | |
| toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding | |
| applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical | |
| repercussions for real world applications. | |
