I know google's allocator. As I stated earlier "the linux libc does not have the best possible allocator ", probably among the worst ones out there. I did some basic benchmarking almost two years ago to see who is the potential winner: http://www.mobiphil.com/2008/08/tbbmalloc-vs-hoard-vs-tcmalloc-vs-tcmalloc-or-intel-vs-google-vs-hoard-vs-linux/ But with the approach I presented you will be much much faster, and zero fragmentation, with disadvantage that you will have a bit higher memory consumption, depending on the average allocation/deallocation rate inside a session. rgrds, mobi phil being mobile, but including technology http://mobiphil.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
