TBB was among the first widely used scalable memory allocators, in no small part because it came free with TBB to help highlight the importance of including memory allocation considerations in any parallel program. It remains extremely popular today and is one of the best scalable memory ...
I expect memory write speed at least about 40 GB/s. How should I use scalable allocator correctly? Can somebody please present a simple verified example of using scalable allocator from INTEL TBB? Environment: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2690 0 @ 2.90 GHz (2 processors), 224 GB RAM (2...
Memory allocator microbenchmark results are notoriously difficult to extrapolate to real-world applications (though that doesn't stop people from trying). Facebook devotes a significant portion of its infrastructure to machines that useHipHopto serve Web pages to users. Although this is just one of...
Hoard A Scalable Memory Allocator for Multithreaded Applications
Ideally, little memory allocation would be required in an application’s steady state, but this is far from reality for large dynamic data structures based on dynamic input. Even modest allocator improvements can have a major impact on throughput. The relation between active memory and RAM usage ...
I have recentely changed our application over to use the TBB Scalable Memory Allocator in our Windows application, which is written in Visual Studio 2005. It has been working fine for the last couple weeks and greatly sped up some operations in our software. However,we just disc...
Hoard has changed quite a bit over the years, but for technical details of the first version of Hoard, readHoard: A Scalable Memory Allocator for Multithreaded Applications, by Emery D. Berger, Kathryn S. McKinley, Robert D. Blumofe, and Paul R. Wilson. The Ninth International Conference ...
Alternative memory allocators can be selected as well. Lwan currently supports TCMalloc, mimalloc, and jemalloc out of the box. To use either one of them, pass -DALTERNATIVE_MALLOC=name to the CMake invocation line, using the names provided in the "Optional dependencies" section....
The scalable memory allocator is more wasteful for some sizes than for others, and indeed it goes to extremes in efficiency (maybe less so since, e.g., 3.0 update 1?), whereas standard malloc() probably has O(1) overhead over a wide or even the entire range of s...
In your case (1.5GB) bypassed the scalable allocator memory, iow not comming out of slab, and went "directly" to VirtualAlloc. "directly" does contain additional scalable allocator overhead to classify the size request and to package it for eventual ret...
