+Memkind helps to fully utilize various kinds of
+memory available in the system,including DRAM,NVDIMM
+and HBM, mostly by adding one additional argument
+destination kind of memory to standard malloc calls.
+
+It also offers a transparent mode that allows memory
+tiering without any modification to the existing app,
+memory kinds based on file-backed memory on specified
+device or area supplied by the user, and much more.
+
+hwloc >=2.3.0 is an optional dependency.
