PACKET PROCESSING COMPUTATIONS UTILIZING A PRE-ALLOCATED MEMORY FUNCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17752790 titled 'PACKET PROCESSING COMPUTATIONS UTILIZING A PRE-ALLOCATED MEMORY FUNCTION
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application is about a new memory allocation function library called PmemMalloc. - PmemMalloc library allocates pre-allocated, partitioned, and fixed shared memory blocks. - It overcomes problems with persistence and enumeration that existing malloc libraries have. - PmemMalloc enables parallel computation across multiple CPU cores/threads and equal distribution of computation among threads. - It prioritizes servicing and provides major constructs like persistence, enumeration, and debuggability. - PmemMalloc migrates computations from application-based packet processing to memory block-based deferred enumeration. - This improves both packet processing and efficient use of CPU cores on a computing device.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for utilizing a new memory allocation function library called PmemMalloc. For example, the PmemMalloc library allocates pre-allocated, partitioned, and fixed shared memory blocks. In addition, by utilizing the PmemMalloc library, the memory allocation system described herein overcomes problems with persistence and enumeration that encumber existing malloc libraries. Indeed, the PmemMalloc library enables the memory allocation system to perform servicing computation in parallel across multiple CPU cores/threads, distribute computation equally among threads, prioritize servicing, among other improvements. Notably, the PmemMalloc library provides major constructs (e.g., persistence, enumeration, and debuggability) not available existing malloc libraries. Additionally, as detailed in this disclosure, the PmemMalloc library migrates various computations out of application-based packet processing to memory block-based deferred enumeration, which improves both packet processing and efficient use of CPU cores on a computing device.
