Intel's Memory Allocator Library
Intel's libqkmalloc library for fast memory allocation provides a C-level interface for memory allocation optimized for performance.
You can link the libqkmalloc library as a shared library only on Linux and Windows platforms for Intel® 64 architecture. This library provides optimized implementation of standard allocation routines malloc, calloc, realloc, and free, and is C99 standard compliant.
Use Intel's Custom Memory Allocator Library
You can use the libqkmalloc library by linking directly to it or by using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable (Linux only).
To ensure that the application overrides the standard library allocation routines on Linux with libqkmalloc, set the environment variable LD_PRELOAD in the command line before the application execution. This environment variable allows you to set a library path that loads before any other library (including the C runtime library). The application uses symbols from the specified library instead of symbols from the standard library.
Restrictions
This library does not support threaded code such as OpenMP* and is not thread safe. It should not be used simultaneously from multiple threads. This library should be used with large throughput workloads for the best results.
