Like its sister product SmartHeap, SmartHeap/SMP is a fast, portable, reliable, ANSI-compliant malloc/operator new library, but SmartHeap/SMP has been expressly optimized for multi-processor systems. SmartHeap/SMP eliminates heap contention so your app scales with additional processors. Unlike compiler heap managers, SmartHeap/SMP allows multiple threads to proceed with no blocking and true concurrency, eliminating heap contention and associated OS overhead. The result: with SmartHeap/SMP your app will scale when it is run on SMP boxes. SmartHeap/SMP also supports multiple memory pools, includes a fixed-size allocator, and is thread-safe. It includes comprehensive memory debugging APIs to detect leakage, overwrites, double-frees, wild pointers, out of memory, references to previously freed memory, and other memory errors.
