Linux's Early Boot-Time Physical Memory Allocator Big Speed-Up: ~268s to ~50ms www.phoronix.com 23 points by Bender 1 day ago
ruslan 1 day ago Can someone please tell why Linux kernel needs this "early" memory allocator and what happens when kernel switches to standard allocator ? From what I know FreeBSD (and other BSDs?) has Universal Memory Allocator (UMA) that is used for everything.
