2014-02-24ose,erts: Specify name for tsd keysLukas Larsson
This simplified debugging on OSE and also limits the number of ppdata keys that are created when beam is restarted.

2012-06-18Fix faulty use of thread progress in handle_aux_work()Rickard Green
As an optimization old thread progress data was kept and used in handle_aux_work() in erl_process.c. This could cause memory to be deallocated at a later time than intended, which is quite harmless. This has, however, now been fixed.
2012-02-19Misc memory barrier fixesRickard Green
- Document barrier semantics - Introduce ddrb suffix on atomic ops - Barrier macros for both non-SMP and SMP case - Make the thread progress API a bit more intuitive

2011-11-13Replace system block with thread progress blockRickard Green
The ERTS internal system block functionality has been replaced by new functionality for blocking the system. The old system block functionality had contention issues and complexity issues. The new functionality piggy-backs on thread progress tracking functionality needed by newly introduced lock-free synchronization in the runtime system. When the functionality for blocking the system isn't used there is more or less no overhead at all. This since the functionality for tracking thread progress is there and needed anyway.
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.
