Summary : User Extensible Heap Manager
URL : http://memkind.github.io/memkind
License : BSD
Description : The memkind library is an user extensible heap manager built on top of
: jemalloc which enables control of memory characteristics and a
: partitioning of the heap between kinds of memory. The kinds of memory
: are defined by operating system memory policies that have been applied
: to virtual address ranges. Memory characteristics supported by
: memkind without user extension include control of NUMA and page size
: features. The jemalloc non-standard interface has been extended to
: enable specialized arenas to make requests for virtual memory from the
: operating system through the memkind partition interface. Through the
: other memkind interfaces the user can control and extend memory
: partition features and allocate memory while selecting enabled
: features. This software is being made available for early evaluation.
: Feedback on design or implementation is greatly appreciated.
