A Tool for Analyzing Performance of Memory Allocators in Linux

This diploma thesis presents a tool for dynamic memory allocator analysis, focused on their performance. The work identifies the important memory allocator performance metrics, as well as the environment and program factors influencing these metrics. Using this knowledge, a tool was designed and implemented. This tool allows to gather and analyze these metrics. The tool provides the ability to create memory allocator usage scenarios for the purpose of the allocator behavior analysis under different conditions. The tool was tested on several available memory allocators with free license
