Main Files:

mm.{c,h}
	Your solution malloc package. mm.c is the file that you
	will be handing in, and is the only file you should modify.

mdriver.c
	The malloc driver that tests your mm.c file.

traces/
	This directory contains traces to evaluate your malloc packages.
	short{1,2}-bal.txt are two tiny traces that you can use for debugging.

traces/plot/
	This directory contains plots of allocated memory over time for traces.

Makefile
	Builds the driver

**********************************
Other support files for the driver
**********************************

config.h	Configures the malloc project driver
fsecs.{c,h}	Wrapper function for the timer function based on gettimeofday()
memlib.{c,h}	Models the heap and sbrk function

*******************************
Building and running the driver
*******************************
To build the driver, type "make" to the shell.

To run the driver on the default trace files:

	$ ./mdriver

To run the driver on a tiny test trace:

	$ ./mdriver -V -f traces/short1-bal.txt

The -V option prints out helpful tracing and summary information.

To get a list of the driver flags:

	$ ./mdriver -h
