Hoard [3] "Hoard is a fast, scalable and memory-efficient allocator for
multiprocessors. Hoard solves the heap contention problem caused when
multiple threads call dynamic memory allocation functions like malloc()
and free() (or new and delete). Hoard can dramatically improve the
performance of multithreaded programs running on multiprocessors."
