Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How does one learn low latency programming?
I start with Heap-Layers by the UMass Plasma group. They've even built allocators on top of this which are worth considering.

How do applications request for RAM from the CPU?
Hoard by Emery Berger
What are some alternatives?
PSRayTracing - A (modern) C++ implementation of the Peter Shirley Ray Tracing mini-books (https://raytracing.github.io). Features a clean project structure, perf. improvements (compared to the original code), multi-core rendering, and more.
mimalloc - mimalloc is a compact general purpose allocator with excellent performance.
memorymanager - A simple, thread-safe memory manager for 64bit C++ applications and games. Focus is on preventing heap fragmentation in the absence of good virtual memory management, at the cost of wasting some memory. It works by globally overriding the new and delete operators.
jemalloc
EA Standard Template Library - EASTL stands for Electronic Arts Standard Template Library. It is an extensive and robust implementation that has an emphasis on high performance.
memory-allocators - Custom memory allocators in C++ to improve the performance of dynamic memory allocation
CppCoreGuidelines - The C++ Core Guidelines are a set of tried-and-true guidelines, rules, and best practices about coding in C++
rpmalloc - Public domain cross platform lock free thread caching 16-byte aligned memory allocator implemented in C
BinarySearchTreeExercises - Practicing with Binary Search Trees
tbb - oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB) [Moved to: https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneTBB]
gperftools - Main gperftools repository
Mesh - A memory allocator that automatically reduces the memory footprint of C/C++ applications.
