    221 \section{Existing Memory Allocators}
    222 With dynamic allocation being an important feature of C, there are many stand-alone memory allocators that have been designed for different purposes. For this thesis, we chose 7 of the most popular and widely used memory allocators.
    223 
    224 \paragraph{dlmalloc}
    225 dlmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is single threaded and single heap. dlmalloc maintains free-lists of different sizes to store freed dynamic memory. (FIX ME: cite wasik)
    226 
    227 \paragraph{hoard}
    228 Hoard (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and using a heap layer framework. It has per-thread heaps that have thread-local free-lists, and a global shared heap. (FIX ME: cite wasik)
    229 
    230 \paragraph{jemalloc}
    231 jemalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that uses multiple arenas. Each thread is assigned an arena. Each arena has chunks that contain contagious memory regions of same size. An arena has multiple chunks that contain regions of multiple sizes.
    232 
    233 \paragraph{ptmalloc}
    234 ptmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a modification of dlmalloc. It is a thread-safe multi-threaded memory allocator that uses multiple heaps. ptmalloc heap has similar design to dlmalloc's heap.
    235 
    236 \paragraph{rpmalloc}
    237 rpmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and uses per-thread heap. Each heap has multiple size-classes and each size-class contains memory regions of the relevant size.
    238 
    239 \paragraph{tbb malloc}
    240 tbb malloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and uses private heap for each thread. Each private-heap has multiple bins of different sizes. Each bin contains free regions of the same size.
    241 
    242 \paragraph{tc malloc}
    243 tcmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator. It uses per-thread cache to store free objects that prevents contention on shared resources in multi-threaded application. A central free-list is used to refill per-thread cache when it gets empty.

     21\section{Machine Specification}
     22
     23The performance experiments were run on three different multicore systems to determine if there is consistency across platforms:
     24\begin{itemize}
     25\item
     26AMD EPYC 7662, 64-core socket $\times$ 2, 2.0 GHz
     27\item
     28Huawei ARM TaiShan 2280 V2 Kunpeng 920, 24-core socket $\times$ 4, 2.6 GHz
     29\item
     30Intel Xeon Gold 5220R, 48-core socket $\times$ 2, 2.20GHz
