# osdk-heap-allocator This is the default slab-based global heap allocator shipped with [OSDK](https://crates.io/crates/cargo-osdk). It relies on the slab mechanism in [OSTD](https://crates.io/crates/ostd) to provide a fast, memory-efficient implementation of a global heap allocator for OS kernels. It also features per-CPU caches for scalable allocations. This crate is part of the [Asterinas](https://github.com/asterinas/asterinas) project.
