Detailed Description

template<typename Value_>
struct tatami_chunked::DenseSlabFactory< Value_ >

Factory for dense slabs.

An instance of this class allocates a single memory pool during its construction. Each slab is simply a pointer into this pool at regular offsets. The idea is to allocate one large block for caching in, e.g., LruSlabCache, improving performance by avoiding repeated requests to the allocator. This also reduces fragmentation that could increase memory usage beyond the expected cache size.

Template Parameters

Value_

Type of the data in each slab.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

DenseSlabFactory() [1/2]

template<typename Value_ >

tatami_chunked::DenseSlabFactory< Value_ >::DenseSlabFactory ( size_t  slab_size, size_t  max_slabs  )

inline

Parameters

slab_size	Size of the slab, in terms of data elements.
max_slabs	Maximum number of slabs.

DenseSlabFactory() [2/2]

template<typename Value_ >

tatami_chunked::DenseSlabFactory< Value_ >::DenseSlabFactory ( const SlabCacheStats &  stats )

inline

Parameters

stats

Slab cache statistics.

Member Function Documentation

create()

template<typename Value_ >

Slab tatami_chunked::DenseSlabFactory< Value_ >::create ( )

inline

Create a new slab, i.e., designate a portion of the memory pool for use through the returned pointer. This should not be called more than max_slabs times.

Returns

Slab containing a pointer to the memory pool.
