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.
