Hi, I am able to understand how libmtmalloc works from the documentation of
libmtmalloc.c source file. However, I am unable to find proper
documentation for libumem. Could someone provide the key differences
between libmtmalloc and liumem, please? Please also provide me links to the
documentation/paper based on the design of libumem.
Thank you.
