Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and single-board computers possess limited memory and processing power, necessitating the effective management of these constraints. This makes Linux—a flexible and cost-effective platform—promising for embedded systems. Indeed, Linux-based operating systems, including Ubuntu Core, Raspberry Pi OS, BalenaOS, and OpenWrt, are commonly used for a wide variety of embedded devices. However, ptmalloc—its default memory allocator—is often unable to satisfy the needs of all applications.Embedded systems such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices and single-board computers possess limited memory and processing power, necessitating the effective management of these constraints.
