mimalloc: A new, high-performance, scalable memory allocator for the modern era
Evolving story · 1 updatesmimalloc: High-performance memory allocatorTimeline →Microsoft Research releases mimalloc, an open-source, high-performance memory allocator designed as a drop-in replacement for malloc/free with bounded worst-case allocation times and low overhead.
mimalloc is an open-source, modern, scalable memory allocator that is a drop-in replacement for malloc and free. It is relatively small (~12K lines), with clear internal data structures, and is easy to build and integrate into other projects. It provides bounded worst-case allocation times (up to OS primitives), bounded space overhead, low internal fragmentation, and minimal contention by relying almost exclusively on atomic operations.
