  1. jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes
  2. fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came
  3. into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its
  4. way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010
  5. jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features
  6. such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc
  7. releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility
  8. remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc
  9. among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and
  10. eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real
  11. world applications.
  12. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information.
  13. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install
  14. jemalloc.
  15. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release.
