2014-06-12erts: Fix documentation for no of default allocator instancesSverker Eriksson
ll_alloc does not default to single instance since 17.0
2014-01-23Merge branch 'rickard/default_acul/OTP-11604'Rickard Green
* rickard/default_acul/OTP-11604: erts: Use "+Muacul de" as default

* maint: Fix observer retrieval of alloc info Fix documentation of the +MMsco switch Replace the +MMscmgc switch with +MMscrfsd Add switch for disabling sys_alloc carriers Add support for locking mappings to physical memory
2013-11-05Fix documentation of the +MMsco switchRickard Green
2013-11-05Replace the +MMscmgc switch with +MMscrfsdRickard Green
Replaced the +MMscmgc switch with the +MMscrfsd switch. The old switch didn't reflect what it controlled.
2013-11-05Add switch for disabling sys_alloc carriersRickard Green
The switch "+Musac <boolean>" controls if sys_alloc carriers are allowed.
2013-11-05Add support for locking mappings to physical memoryRickard Green
Using "+Mlpm all" switch all mappings made by the emulator will be locked into physical memory.

2013-06-19erts: Make aoffcbf default when migration is enabledSverker Eriksson
2013-06-19erts: Add new allocator strategy aoffcbfSverker Eriksson
with better performance than aoffcaobf as we don't have to rearrange the search tree when there are blocks of equal size.

2011-11-13Optimize memory allocationRickard Green
A number of memory allocation optimizations have been implemented. Most optimizations reduce contention caused by synchronization between threads during allocation and deallocation of memory. Most notably: * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific allocator instances has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * Synchronization of memory management in scheduler specific pre-allocators has been rewritten to use lock-free synchronization. * The 'mseg_alloc' memory segment allocator now use scheduler specific instances instead of one instance. Apart from reducing contention this also ensures that memory allocators always create memory segments on the local NUMA node on a NUMA system.
