memory-allocators
A collection of custom memory allocators in C++ designed to outperform standard malloc for specific allocation patterns.
What is memory-allocators?
Memory Allocators is a C++ library that provides custom implementations of dynamic memory allocators to improve performance over the standard malloc. It includes specialized allocators like Linear, Stack, Pool, and Free List, each optimized for different data usage patterns and constraints. The project helps developers reduce allocation overhead and fragmentation in performance-critical applications.
C++ developers working on performance-sensitive systems such as game engines, real-time applications, or embedded systems where dynamic memory allocation overhead is a bottleneck. It's also valuable for systems programmers and students learning about memory management internals.
Developers choose this library because it offers production-ready, specialized allocators that can significantly outperform malloc for specific use cases, with clear benchmarks and educational documentation. It provides a practical toolkit for optimizing memory allocation without relying on platform-specific or proprietary solutions.
