1 Readme for Octeon shared memory malloc
3 This malloc is based on ptmalloc2, which is the malloc
4 implementation of glibc. Source code and more information
5 on this can be found at http://www.malloc.de/en/index.html.
6 Please see the individual files for licensing terms.
8 The main change to the code modifies the way the malloc
9 gets memory from the system. Under Linux/Unix, malloc
10 uses the brk or memmap sytem calls to request more memory.
11 In this implementation, memory regions must be explicitly
12 given to malloc by the application.
