4This chapter uses the micro-benchmarks from \VRef[Chapter]{s:Benchmarks} to test a number of current memory allocators, including llheap.
5The goal is to see if llheap is competitive with the current best memory allocators.

20\label{sec:curAllocatorSec}
21
22With dynamic allocation being an important feature of C, there are many stand-alone memory allocators that have been designed for different purposes.
23For this thesis, 7 of the most popular and widely used memory allocators were selected for comparison, along with llheap.

87% \section{Experiment Environment}
88% We used our micro benchmark suite (FIX ME: cite mbench) to evaluate these memory allocators \ref{sec:curAllocatorSec} and our own memory allocator uHeap \ref{sec:allocatorSec}.

90\section{Experiments}
91
92The each micro-benchmark is configured and run with each of the allocators,
93The less time an allocator takes to complete a benchmark the better, so lower in the graphs is better.

141All allocators did well in this micro-benchmark, except for \textsf{dl} on the ARM.
142llheap is slightly slower because it uses ownership, where many of the allocations have remote frees, which requires locking.
143When llheap is compiled without ownership, its performance is the same as the other allocators (not shown).

483\VRefrange[Figures]{fig:mem-1-prod-1-cons-100-cfa}{fig:mem-4-prod-4-cons-100-tbb} show 16 figures, two figures for each of the 8 allocators, one for each configuration.
484Table \ref{table:mem-benchmark-figs} shows the list of figures that contain memory benchmark results.
485
486Each figure has 2 graphs, one for each experiment environment.
487Each graph has following 5 subgraphs that show program's memory usage and statistics throughout the program lifetime.
488
489\begin{itemize}
490\item \textit{\textbf{current\_req\_mem(B)}} shows the amount of dynamic memory requested and currently in-use of the benchmark.
491\item \textit{\textbf{heap}}* shows the memory requested by the program (allocator) from the system that lies in the heap area.
492\item \textit{\textbf{mmap\_so}}* shows the memory requested by the program (allocator) from the system that lies in the mmap area.
493\item \textit{\textbf{mmap}}* shows the memory requested by the program (allocator or shared libraries) from the system that lies in the mmap area.
494\item \textit{\textbf{total\_dynamic}} shows the total usage of dynamic memory by the benchmark program which is a sum of heap, mmap, and mmap\_so.
495\end{itemize}
496
497* These statistics are gathered by monitoring the \textit{/proc/self/maps} file of the process in linux system.
498
499For each subgraph, x-axis shows the time during the program lifetime at which the data point was generated.
500Y-axis shows the memory usage in bytes.
501
502For the experiment, at a certain time in the program's life, the difference between the memory requested by the benchmark (\textit{current\_req\_mem(B)})
503and the memory that the process has received from system (\textit{heap}, \textit{mmap}) should be minimum.
504This difference is the memory overhead caused by the allocator and shows the level of fragmentation in the allocator.
