malloc() perf on HP-UX

bigdaddy68 — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 12:11:23 GMT

hi,

i am porting an app off solaris that used HOARD to interpose on malloc() which wasn't too fast/efficient on solaris...

what about hp-ux/integrity ? 11.23 ? 11.31 ? whats up with this MallocNextGen stuff. what is it and where can i read up on it to see if it may work for us. maybe there are some microbenchamrks that show how it stacks up ?(pun intended :)

Hi:

The HP Software Depot hosts this bundle:

https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=MallocNextGen

Once installed, there is a manpage to consult: 'mallocng(3X)'

Regards!

On Integrity you can use caliper to measure your performance and check where and if you have any malloc performance issues.
