-\paragraph{hoard}
-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)

-\paragraph{jemalloc}
-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.

-\paragraph{ptmalloc}
-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.

-\paragraph{rpmalloc}
-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.
-
-\paragraph{tbb malloc}
-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.
-
-\paragraph{tc malloc}
-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.

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