     26The new features added to uHeapLmmm (incl. @malloc\_size@ routine)
    2727\CFA alloc interface with examples.
     28
    2829\begin{itemize}
    2930\item
     
    117118We added a few more features and routines to the allocator's C interface that can make the allocator more usable to the programmers. THese features will programmer more control on the dynamic memory allocation.
    118119
    119 \subsubsection void * aalloc( size_t dim, size_t elemSize )
     120\subsubsection void * aalloc( size\_t dim, size\_t elemSize )
    120121aalloc is an extension of malloc. It allows programmer to allocate a dynamic array of objects without calculating the total size of array explicitly. The only alternate of this routine in the other allocators is calloc but calloc also fills the dynamic memory with 0 which makes it slower for a programmer who only wants to dynamically allocate an array of objects without filling it with 0.
    121122\paragraph{Usage}
    122123aalloc takes two parameters.
     124
    123125\begin{itemize}
    124126\item
     
    129131It returns address of dynamic object allocatoed on heap that can contain dim number of objects of the size elemSize. On failure, it returns NULL pointer.
    130132
    131 \subsubsection void * resize( void * oaddr, size_t size )
     133\subsubsection void * resize( void * oaddr, size\_t size )
    132134resize is an extension of relloc. It allows programmer to reuse a cuurently allocated dynamic object with a new size requirement. Its alternate in the other allocators is realloc but relloc also copy the data in old object to the new object which makes it slower for the programmer who only wants to reuse an old dynamic object for a new size requirement but does not want to preserve the data in the old object to the new object.
    133135\paragraph{Usage}
    134136resize takes two parameters.
     137
    135138\begin{itemize}
    136139\item
     
    141144It returns an object that is of the size given but it does not preserve the data in the old object. On failure, it returns NULL pointer.
    142145
    143 \subsubsection void * resize( void * oaddr, size_t nalign, size_t size )
     146\subsubsection void * resize( void * oaddr, size\_t nalign, size\_t size )
    144147This resize is an extension of the above resize (FIX ME: cite above resize). In addition to resizing the size of of an old object, it can also realign the old object to a new alignment requirement.
    145148\paragraph{Usage}
    146149This resize takes three parameters. It takes an additional parameter of nalign as compared to the above resize (FIX ME: cite above resize).
     150
    147151\begin{itemize}
    148152\item
     
    155159It returns an object with the size and alignment given in the parameters. On failure, it returns a NULL pointer.
    156160
    157 \subsubsection void * amemalign( size_t alignment, size_t dim, size_t elemSize )
     161\subsubsection void * amemalign( size\_t alignment, size\_t dim, size\_t elemSize )
    158162amemalign is a hybrid of memalign and aalloc. It allows programmer to allocate an aligned dynamic array of objects without calculating the total size of the array explicitly. It frees the programmer from calculating the total size of the array.
    159163\paragraph{Usage}
    160164amemalign takes three parameters.
     165
    161166\begin{itemize}
    162167\item
     
    169174It returns a dynamic array of objects that has the capacity to contain dim number of objects of the size of elemSize. The returned dynamic array is aligned to the given alignment. On failure, it returns NULL pointer.
    170175
    171 \subsubsection void * cmemalign( size_t alignment, size_t dim, size_t elemSize )
     176\subsubsection void * cmemalign( size\_t alignment, size\_t dim, size\_t elemSize )
    172177cmemalign is a hybrid of amemalign and calloc. It allows programmer to allocate an aligned dynamic array of objects that is 0 filled. The current way to do this in other allocators is to allocate an aligned object with memalign and then fill it with 0 explicitly. This routine provides both features of aligning and 0 filling, implicitly.
    173178\paragraph{Usage}
    174179cmemalign takes three parameters.
     180
    175181\begin{itemize}

    187 \paragraph{Usage}
    188 malloc_alignment takes one parameters.
     191\subsubsection size\_t malloc\_alignment( void * addr )
     192malloc\_alignment returns the alignment of a currently allocated dynamic object. It allows the programmer in memory management and personal bookkeeping.

    192199\end{itemize}
    193 malloc_alignment returns the alignment of the given dynamic object. On failure, it return the value of default alignment of the uHeapLmmm allocator.
    194 
    195 \subsubsection bool malloc_zero_fill( void * addr )
    196 malloc_zero_fill returns whether a currently allocated dynamic object was initially zero filled at the time of allocation.

     202\subsubsection bool malloc\_zero\_fill( void * addr )
     203malloc\_zero\_fill returns whether a currently allocated dynamic object was initially zero filled at the time of allocation. It allows the programmer in memory management and personal bookkeeping. It helps the programmer in verifying the zero filled property of a dynamic object especially in a scenerio similar to prudcer-consumer where a producer allocates a dynamic object and the consumer needs to assure that the dynamic object was zero filled at the time of allocation.
     204\paragraph{Usage}
     205malloc\_zero\_fill takes one parameters.
     206
    199207\begin{itemize}
    200208\item

    204 
    205 \subsubsection size_t malloc_size( void * addr )
    206 malloc_size returns the allocation size of a currently allocated dynamic object. It allows the programmer in memory management and personal bookkeeping. It helps the programmer in verofying the alignment of a dynamic object especially in a scenerio similar to prudcer-consumer where a producer allocates a dynamic object and the consumer needs to assure that the dynamic object was allocated with the required size. Its current alternate in the other allocators is malloc_usable_size. But, malloc_size is different from malloc_usable_size as malloc_usabe_size returns the total data capacity of dynamic object including the extra space at the end of the dynamic object. On the other hand, malloc_size returns the size that was given to the allocator at the allocation of the dynamic object. This size is updated when an object is realloced, resized, or passed through a similar allocator routine.
    207 \paragraph{Usage}
    208 malloc_size takes one parameters.
     211malloc\_zero\_fill returns true if the dynamic object was initially zero filled and return false otherwise. On failure, it returns false.
     212

    351 \subsection{Alloc Interface}
     371\subsection Alloc Interface
    352372In addition to improve allocator interface both for CFA and our standalone allocator uHeapLmmm in C. We also added a new alloc interface in CFA that increases usability of dynamic memory allocation.
    353373This interface helps programmers in three major ways.
     374
    354375\begin{itemize}
    355376\item
     
    371392This is the only parameter in the alloc routine that has a fixed-position and it is also the only parameter that does not use a backtick function. It has to be passed at the first position to alloc call in-case of an array allocation of objects of type T.
    372393It represents the required number of members in the array allocation as in CFA's aalloc (FIX ME: cite aalloc).
    373 This parameter should be of type size_t.
     394This parameter should be of type size\_t.
    374395
    375396Example: int a = alloc( 5 )
     
    377398
    378399\paragraph{Align}
    379 This parameter is position-free and uses a backtick routine align (`align). The parameter passed with `align should be of type size_t. If the alignment parameter is not a power of two or is less than the default alignment of the allocator (that can be found out using routine libAlign in CFA) then the passed alignment parameter will be rejected and the default alignment will be used.
     400This parameter is position-free and uses a backtick routine align (`align). The parameter passed with `align should be of type size\_t. If the alignment parameter is not a power of two or is less than the default alignment of the allocator (that can be found out using routine libAlign in CFA) then the passed alignment parameter will be rejected and the default alignment will be used.
    380401
    381402Example: int b = alloc( 5 , 64`align )
     
    385406This parameter is position-free and uses a backtick routine fill (`fill). In case of realloc, only the extra space after copying the data in the old object will be filled with given parameter.
    386407Three types of parameters can be passed using `fill.

     27% FIXME: cite wasik
     28\cite{wasik.thesis}
     29
     30\subsection{Memory Allocation}
     31With dynamic allocation being an important feature of C, there are many standalone memory allocators that have been designed for different purposes. For this thesis, we chose 7 of the most popular and widely used memory allocators.
     32
     33\paragraph{dlmalloc}
     34dlmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is single threaded and single heap. dlmalloc maintains free-lists of different sizes to store freed dynamic memory. (FIX ME: cite wasik)
     35
     36\paragraph{hoard}
     37Hoard (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and using a heap layer framework. It has per-thred heaps that have thread-local free-lists, and a gloabl shared heap. (FIX ME: cite wasik)
     38
     39\paragraph{jemalloc}
     40jemalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that uses multiple arenas. Each thread is assigned an arena. Each arena has chunks that contain contagious memory regions of same size. An arena has multiple chunks that contain regions of multiple sizes.
     41
     42\paragraph{ptmalloc}
     43ptmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a modification of dlmalloc. It is a thread-safe multi-threaded memory allocator that uses multiple heaps. ptmalloc heap has similar design to dlmalloc's heap.
     44
     45\paragraph{rpmalloc}
     46rpmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and uses per-thread heap. Each heap has multiple size-classes and each size-calss contains memory regions of the relevant size.
     47
     48\paragraph{tbb malloc}
     49tbb malloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and uses private heap for each thread. Each private-heap has multiple bins of different sizes. Each bin contains free regions of the same size.
     50
     51\paragraph{tc malloc}
     52tcmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator. It uses per-thread cache to store free objects that prevents contention on shared resources in multi-threaded application. A central free-list is used to refill per-thread cache when it gets empty.
     53
     54\subsection{Benchmarks}
     55There are multiple benchmarks that are built individually and evaluate different aspects of a memory allocator. But, there is not standard set of benchamrks that can be used to evaluate multiple aspects of memory allocators.
     56
     57\paragraph{threadtest}
     58(FIX ME: cite benchmark and hoard) Each thread repeatedly allocates and then deallocates 100,000 objects. Runtime of the benchmark evaluates its efficiency.
     59
     60\paragraph{shbench}
     61(FIX ME: cite benchmark and hoard) Each thread allocates and randomly frees a number of random-sized objects. It is a stress test that also uses runtime to determine efficiency of the allocator.
     62
     63\paragraph{larson}
     64(FIX ME: cite benchmark and hoard) Larson simulates a server environment. Multiple threads are created where each thread allocator and free a number of objects within a size range. Some objects are passed from threads to the child threads to free. It caluculates memory operations per second as an indicator of memory allocator's performance.

    6262With the rise of concurrent applications, memory allocators should be able to fulfill dynamic memory requests from multiple threads in parallel without causing contention on shared resources. There needs to be a set of a standard benchmarks that can be used to evaluate an allocator's performance in different scenerios.
    63 
    64 \section{Background}
    65 
    66 \subsection{Memory Allocation}
    67 With dynamic allocation being an important feature of C, there are many standalone memory allocators that have been designed for different purposes. For this thesis, we chose 7 of the most popular and widely used memory allocators.
    68 
    69 \paragraph{dlmalloc}
    70 dlmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is single threaded and single heap. dlmalloc maintains free-lists of different sizes to store freed dynamic memory. (FIX ME: cite wasik)
    71 
    72 \paragraph{hoard}
    73 Hoard (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and using a heap layer framework. It has per-thred heaps that have thread-local free-lists, and a gloabl shared heap. (FIX ME: cite wasik)
    74 
    75 \paragraph{jemalloc}
    76 jemalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that uses multiple arenas. Each thread is assigned an arena. Each arena has chunks that contain contagious memory regions of same size. An arena has multiple chunks that contain regions of multiple sizes.
    77 
    78 \paragraph{ptmalloc}
    79 ptmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a modification of dlmalloc. It is a thread-safe multi-threaded memory allocator that uses multiple heaps. ptmalloc heap has similar design to dlmalloc's heap.
    80 
    81 \paragraph{rpmalloc}
    82 rpmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and uses per-thread heap. Each heap has multiple size-classes and each size-calss contains memory regions of the relevant size.
    83 
    84 \paragraph{tbb malloc}
    85 tbb malloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator that is multi-threaded and uses private heap for each thread. Each private-heap has multiple bins of different sizes. Each bin contains free regions of the same size.
    86 
    87 \paragraph{tc malloc}
    88 tcmalloc (FIX ME: cite allocator) is a thread-safe allocator. It uses per-thread cache to store free objects that prevents contention on shared resources in multi-threaded application. A central free-list is used to refill per-thread cache when it gets empty.
    89 
    90 \subsection{Benchmarks}
    91 There are multiple benchmarks that are built individually and evaluate different aspects of a memory allocator. But, there is not standard set of benchamrks that can be used to evaluate multiple aspects of memory allocators.
    92 
    93 \paragraph{threadtest}
    94 (FIX ME: cite benchmark and hoard) Each thread repeatedly allocates and then deallocates 100,000 objects. Runtime of the benchmark evaluates its efficiency.
    95 
    96 \paragraph{shbench}
    97 (FIX ME: cite benchmark and hoard) Each thread allocates and randomly frees a number of random-sized objects. It is a stress test that also uses runtime to determine efficiency of the allocator.
    98 
    99 \paragraph{larson}
    100 (FIX ME: cite benchmark and hoard) Larson simulates a server environment. Multiple threads are created where each thread allocator and free a number of objects within a size range. Some objects are passed from threads to the child threads to free. It caluculates memory operations per second as an indicator of memory allocator's performance.
