[I] TLSF Memory Allocator for Real-Time

[T] TLSF is a general purpose dynamic memory allocator specifically designed
[T] to meet real-time requirements:
[T]
[T] * Bounded Response Time. The worst-case execution time (WCET) of memory
[T]   allocation and deallocation has got to be known in advance and be
[T]   independent of application data. TLSF has a constant cost O(1).
[T] * Fast. Additionally to a bounded cost, the allocator has to be efficient
[T]   and fast enough. TLSF executes a maximum of 168 processor instructions
[T]   in a x86 architecture. Depending on the compiler version and optimisation
[T]   flags, it can be slightly lower or higher.
[T] * Efficient Memory Use. Traditionally, real-time systems run for long
[T]   periods of time and some (embedded applications), have strong constraints
[T]   of memory size. Fragmentation can have a significant impact on such
[T]   systems. It can increase dramatically, and degrade the system
[T]   performance. A way to measure this efficiency is the memory fragmentation
[T]   incurred by the allocator. TLSF has been tested in hundreds of different
[T]   loads (real-time tasks, general purpose applications, etc.) obtaining an
[T]   average fragmentation lower than 15 %. The maximum fragmentation measured
[T]   is lower than 25%.
