Linux Memory Allocator

Linux Memory Allocator is a multithreaded C++ memory allocator designed to provide advanced allocation strategies and optimized memory management. This project offers flexibility and efficiency for managing memory in C++ applications.

Features

• Multithreaded Support: Safely manage memory across multiple threads.
• Flexible Allocation Strategies: Choose between various allocation algorithms, including First Fit and Best Fit.
• Memory Optimization: Efficiently handle memory with compaction and merging of contiguous free blocks.
• Detailed Statistics: Get insights into memory usage and allocation statistics.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• C++11 or later
• g++ for compiling

Building the Project

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ahmad-masud/Linux-Memory-Allocator

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Linux-Memory-Allocator

3. Build the project using make:

   make

Usage

1. Run the executable:

   ./myalloc

2. The program will demonstrate allocation and deallocation of memory using the custom allocator.
