Different applications have different memory usage patterns and perform better when using dedicated memory allocators. Right now, the buddy allocator is the only available memory allocator used in Unikraft, so this GSoC project aims to port more memory allocators to it, starting with mimalloc.

Multiboot2, an enhanced version of Multiboot, solves some of the limitations of the original protocol, such as the lack of support for 64-bit UEFI systems. It also provides a more accurate and detailed communication during the bootstrapping process and offers a standardized tag system for easier configuration.
