Hoard memory allocator

The Hoard memory allocator, or Hoard is a memory allocator for Linux, Solaris, Windows and other operating systems. Hoard can improve the performance of multithreaded applications by providing fast, scalable memory management functions (malloc and free). In particular, it reduces contention for the heap caused when multiple threads allocate or free memory, and avoids the false sharing that can be introduced by memory allocators. At the same time, Hoard has low fragmentation.
