2017-06-13Revert "erts: Do not generate atoms on old latin1 external format"Rickard Green

2017-03-08erts: Do not generate atoms on old latin1 external formatSverker Eriksson
term_to_binary will always generate utf8 atoms ATOM_UTF8_EXT and SMALL_ATOM_UTF8_EXT. Old latin1 atoms, ATOM_EXT and SMALL_ATOM_EXT, are still decoded.

2017-02-14erts: Add deallocation veto for magic destructorsSverker Eriksson
A magic destructor can return 0 and thereby take control and prolong the lifetime of a magic binary.

2015-03-30erts: Refactor encode_size_struct_intSverker Eriksson
to handle the "start of list" case in one place and not seven. Note that this commit reverts (47d6fd3ccf35) back to using WSTACK and pushing raw pointers. We disable GC while yielding, so this should not be a problem.
2014-08-29erts: Implement yielding for distributed send of large messagesSverker Eriksson
Use same mechanism as term_to_binary to yield while encoding large messages for distributed send.
2014-03-14erts: Add distribution capability flag for maps DFLAG_MAP_TAGSverker Eriksson
This is just a preparation to allow detection of older nodes that do not understand maps (R16 and older).
2014-02-24erts: Set default external enc to use new float schemeLukas Larsson
This change was triggered by the OSE float printing function not working exactly the same way as linux/win32. But it is also a good one in general as it cuts size in more than half for floats.

All uses of the old deprecated atomic API in the runtime system have been replaced with the use of the new atomic API. In a lot of places this change imply a relaxation of memory barriers used.

2010-11-22ETS 'compressed' option.Sverker Eriksson
The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format (term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one extra word for "alloc_size").
2010-11-02Be less eager to set dist entry in busy stateRickard Green
The runtime system is now less eager to suspend processes sending messages over the distribution. The default value of the distribution buffer busy limit has also been increased from 128 KB to 1 MB. This in order to improve throughput.
2010-11-02Add flag-based setting for the distribution buffer busy limitScott Lystig Fritchie
Id: OTP-8912 This patch creates a new family of flags with the "+z" prefix. It further creates a new configuration option called "dbbl" (which is the first letter of the name dist_buf_busy_limit). Example usage of this flag would be "+zdbbl 1048576". This patch creates an adjustable buffer limit for the amount of data that may be buffered by the erlang distribution code (in dist.c specifically). Before this patch, this hard-coded constant was used: #define ERTS_DE_BUSY_LIMIT (128*1024) When large binaries are transmitted between nodes (or simply a lot of medium-sized binaries), it is very easy to hit the old 128KB limit. Processes that use the erlang:system_monitor() BIF to monitor system events can be spammed by {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} message tuples at rates of tens to even hundreds of messages/second. A larger buffer limit will allow processes to buffer more outgoing messages over the distribution. When the buffer limit has been reached, sending processes will be suspended until the buffer size has shrunk. The buffer limit is per distribution channel. A higher limit will give lower latency and higher throughput at the expense of higher memory usage. A variation of this patch has been in commercial production use in at least two companies that the author is aware of. Larger buffer values can reduce the number of {monitor, busy_dist_port, ...} system messages drastically, lower overall messaging latencies, and prevent false timeouts and 'nodedown' messages in extremely busy Mnesia systems. Test suite: there are two tests: a. In erlexec_SUITE.erl to test basic set & get of the value b. In distribution_SUITE.erl, to verify that setting +zdbbl very low will actually change behavior.

2010-03-10Fit all heap data into the 32-bit address rangePatrik Nyblom
This is the first step in the implementation of the half-word emulator, a 64-bit emulator where all pointers to heap data will be stored in 32-bit words. Code specific for this emulator variant is conditionally compiled when the HALFWORD_HEAP define has a non-zero value. First force all pointers to heap data to fall into a single 32-bit range, but still store them in 64-bit words. Temporary term data stored on C stack is moved into scheduler specific storage (allocated as heaps) and macros are added to make this happen only in emulators where this is needed. For a vanilla VM the temporary terms are still stored on the C stack.
