VRIG - Memory Allocator Project
Project Description Hello! This was a mini competition run by the vulnerability research group @RITSEC during the start of Spring 2026. We studied modern allocation implementation specifically Mimalloc, PartitionAlloc, TCMalloc, Scalloc, Scudo and bmalloc - our slides can be found on https://vri.group. The test-benchmark was created by Oleg and tests basic allocator behavior, memory fragmentation, throughput, tail latency, and a bunch of security edge cases. Benchmark At a high level the benchmark harness is allocator agnostic: you drop in a malloc/free implementation and the test runner drives it through several suites....
