Name : memkind

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.
