[jira] [Commented] (TS-1684) Reduce the usage of global allocation/free lists - switch to using local thread allocation/free lists

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-1684?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13685997#comment-13685997 ] 

ASF subversion and git services commented on TS-1684:
-----------------------------------------------------

Commit 052da6724140c1a4721c5cf3f9b64810ab4444b8 in branch refs/heads/master from [~bcall]
[ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=trafficserver.git;h=052da67 ]

TS-1684 - Added more ProxyAllocators for faster and local memory
allocation.  Have seen a doubling in performance depending on the benchmark.
Details in the ticket.

> When running benchmarks ink_freelist_new() normally shows up as one of if not the number one function in the code using the most CPU.  Currently ATS uses global free lists (via ClassAllocator<>, Allocator, and SparceClassAllocator<>) for memory allocation for some of its memory allocation.
> Here is a list of how frequently the type of allocations are used and the "name" given to the allocator.  This is a benchmark for a small object in cache fetched 100k times.
