Testing Memory Allocators: ptmalloc2 vs tcmalloc vs hoard vs jemalloc While Trying to Simulate Real-World Loads - IT Hare on Soft.wareAccessing Allocated Memory As noted above, we DID want to access allocated memory; for our test, we did it as writing the whole block right after the allocation (using memset()) – and reading it right before deallocation. It is a bare minimum of the accesses we could imagine for the real-world (hey, if we did want to allocate, probably we did want to write something there?). Compensation Mechanism
