Hi All:

Is there a way to provide multiple-heap capability in the malloc
subsystem to improve the performance of threaded applications running
on multiprocessor systems on Solaris 8/9/10?

Is there an analog of MALLOCMULTIHEAP on AIX?


Thank you,
Alona

You can link with an alternative allocator.  See libumem(3LIB) and
