Welcome to the Hi-DMM wiki! If you have some other questions, please do not hesitate to email us: (tliang at ust dot hk)

Hi-DMM is a comprehensive project developed in an academic work, with its implementation covering both hardware and software. User can use only the allocators or only the compiler for their work since the designs are relatively independent. We do hope this project can make contribution to the community and we will be happy to get feedback or suggestion from designers. Therefore, to help user to understand Hi-DMM and use it easier, the Wiki of Hi-DMM is organized as below:

1. What is Hi-DMM? Introduction to Hi-DMM
