CustoMalloc: Efficient Synthesized Memory Allocators

Customalloc: Eecient Synthesized Memory Allocators University of Colorado at Boulder Customalloc: Eecient Synthesized Memory Allocators

The allocation and disposal of memory is a ubiquitous operation in most programs. Rarely do programmers concern themselves with details of memory allocators; most assume that memory allocators provided by the system perform well. Yet, in some applications, programmers use domain-speciic knowledge in an attempt to improve the speed or memory utilization of memory allocators. In this paper, we de...

Experience with Memory Allocators for Parallel Mesh Generation on Multicore Architectures

Scalable and locality-aware multiprocessor memory allocators are critical for harnessing the potential of emerging multithreaded and multicore architectures. This paper evaluates two state-of-the-art generic multithreaded allocators designed for both scalability and locality, against custom allocators, written to optimize the multithreaded implementation of parallel mesh generation algorithms. ...

Register Efficient Dynamic Memory Allocator for GPUs

We compare five existing dynamic memory allocators optimized for GPUs and show their strengths and weaknesses. In the measurements we use three generic evaluation tests proposed in the past and we add one with a real workload, where dynamic memory allocation is used in building the k-d tree data structure. Following the performance analysis we propose a new dynamic memory allocator and its vari...

A tunable hybrid memory allocator q Yusuf

Dynamic memory management can make up to 60% of total program execution time. Object oriented languages such as C++ can use 20 times more memory than procedural languages like C. Bad memory management causes severe waste of memory, several times that actually needed, in programs. It can also cause degradation in performance. Many widely used allocators waste memory and/or CPU time. Since comput...
