The code is here if you're interested:
<https://github.com/MetaScale/nt2/tree/master/modules/boost/simd/sdk/include/boost/simd/memory>

It has functions to adapt any memory allocating scheme or C++ allocator 
into an aligned version.
It has a mechanism similar to Boost.Assert where you can globally define 
your underlying custom memory allocator.

It also has functions to make use of system-specific functions, which 
are used by default.
