Description:

 The memkind library is an user extensible heap manager built on top of

 jemalloc which enables control of memory characteristics and a

 partitioning of the heap between kinds of memory. The kinds of memory

 are defined by operating system memory policies that have been applied

 to virtual address ranges. Memory characteristics supported by

 memkind without user extension include control of NUMA and page size

 features. The jemalloc non-standard interface has been extended to

 enable specialized arenas to make requests for virtual memory from the

 operating system through the memkind partition interface. Through the

 other memkind interfaces the user can control and extend memory

 partition features and allocate memory while selecting enabled

 features. This software is being made available for early evaluation.

 Feedback on design or implementation is greatly appreciated.
