Libmabuff

libmabuff: Open-Source Memory Allocation Buffering Library

An open-source C++ library for memory allocation buffering, reducing fragmentation and improving performance.

What is Libmabuff?

libmabuff is an open-source C++ library that aims to improve memory allocation performance by buffering allocation and deallocation requests.

It works by intercepting calls to memory allocation functions like malloc and free, and buffering these requests instead of passing them directly to the system memory manager. The buffers are then periodically flushed, allowing more optimized allocation patterns.

Some key benefits of libmabuff include:

• Reduced memory fragmentation - By buffering requests and flushing optimized patterns, fragmentation can be reduced
• Improved allocation speed - Buffering allows overhead to be amortized across multiple allocations
• Lower memory usage - Optimized allocation patterns can improve memory density

libmabuff provides C++ classes like BufferedAllocator and BufferedDeallocator to integrate buffering into existing code. It also allows customization of buffer sizes and flushing behavior.

Overall, libmabuff is useful for C++ projects that want to optimize dynamic memory usage for improved performance and reduced fragmentation.
