Allocation of memory within a data type-specific memory heap

Abstract:

One embodiment provides for a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising receiving an instruction to dynamically allocate memory for an object of a data type and dynamically allocating memory for the object from a heap instance that is specific to the data type for the object, the heap instance including a memory allocator for the data type, the memory allocator generated at compile time for the instruction based on a specification of the data type for the heap instance.
