I took a look a it and it doesn't seem completely trivial to add into ext. I think a dependency is kinda annoying. The other option is to just use it if it's available.

I've run each twice and the results are reasonable conclusive. FastAlloc appears to be slightly faster (1-2%) after increasing the max size to 1024 bytes and adding FastAlloc to a few more classes in the O3 CPU. TCMalloc is an astonishingly 8%-10% faster, so I vote for TCMalloc. > > Would we put it in ext or add it as a dependency? > > Nate > _______________________________________________ > gem5-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/gem5-dev Links: ------ [1] http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/ _______________________________________________ gem5-dev mailing list [email protected] http://m5sim.org/mailman/listinfo/gem5-dev
