lib64umem0-1.0-3mdv2009.0.x86_64.rpm

Description:

This a port of Solaris's slab allocator, libumem, to Linux.

"A slab allocator is a cache management structure for efficient use of [...]
memory. [...] It is targeted for use of many small pieces of memory chunks. By
managing small memory chunks in the units called slabs, this mechanism enables
lower fragmentation, fast allocation, and reclaming memory." (Description
sourced from Wikipedia.)
