#8732: Global big object heap allocator lock causes contention -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: tibbe | Owner: simonmar Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Runtime System | Version: 7.6.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Runtime | Unknown/Multiple performance bug | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by dobenour): Ask the TCMalloc or JEmalloc developers? They have solved this problem, and even if GHC can't use them directly, the algorithms used in them could be used. Also, I am wondering if the current large object limit is too small. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8732#comment:19 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
