[Research](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/378795.378821) have shown that programs can run as much as 60% faster just by switching to an appropriate memory allocator.
Unikraft currently supports only one general-purpose memory allocator, the buddy allocator.
This project aims to port [mimalloc](https://github.com/microsoft/mimalloc) (pronounced "me-malloc"), a high-performance general-purpose memory allocator developed by Microsoft, to Unikraft.
This is the first step in a series of efforts to provide Unikraft users with more memory allocators to choose from to optimize the performance of their applications.
