Readme for memorypool-0.1.0.0

[back to package description]

memorypool

A very basic memory pool imlemented in haskell.

The core idea is that the pool allocates large chunks of memory that are some power-of-two factor (e.g. 256) of some base size (e.g. 10k). The user of the pool allocates chunks of a power-of-two factor of the base size (i.e. 10k, 20k, 40k, ..). This scheme avoids fragmentation due to weirdly-sized holes, but keep in mind that no compaction takes place, so this kind of fragmentation must be worked around manually if necessary.

The pool internally allocates memory on the C heap, i.e. outside of any haskell/GC heap.

Uses a buddy allocation strategy internally.
