.SH "DESCRIPTION"

The

.BR hbw::allocator<T>

is intended to be used with STL containers to allocate high bandwidth memory. Memory management is based on hbwmalloc (memkind library), enabling users to gain performance in multithreaded applications. Refer

.BR hbwmalloc (3)

and

.BR memkind (3)

man page for more details.

.PP

All public member types and functions corresponds to standard library allocator concepts and definitions. The current implementation supports C++03 standard.

.PP

Template arguments:

.br

.I T

is an object type aliased by value_type.

.br

.I U

is an object type.

.PP

.B Note:

.br

.BI "hbw::allocator<T>::pointer hbw::allocator<T>::allocate(hbw::allocator<T>::size_type " "n" ", const void * = 0)"

allocates high bandwidth memory using

.BR hbw_malloc ().

Throw

.I std::bad_alloc

when:

.br

.RS

.I n

= 0,

.RE

.br

.RS

.I n

>

.BR max_size ()

.RE

or there is not enough memory to satisfy the request.

.RE

.PP

.BI "hbw::allocator<T>::deallocate(hbw::allocator<T>::pointer " "p" ", hbw::allocator<T>::size_type " "n")

deallocates memory associated with pointer returned by

.BR allocate ()

using

.BR hbw_free ().

.SH ERRORS

The same as described in

.B ERRORS

section of

.BR hbwmalloc (3)

man page.

.SH "NOTES"

The

.BR hbw::allocator<T>

behavior depends on hbwmalloc heap management policy. To get and set the policy please use

.BR hbw_get_policy ()

and

.BR hbw_set_policy ()

respectively.
