High-performance statistics

Abstract:

A system and method of managing highly-volatile statistics of a multi-threaded application environment. The statistics are represented by one or more statistics objects. Each statistics object of the one or more statistics objects is prefixed with an object header having a version counter with an initial version count of zero. Each statistics object is associated with a statistics class instance, each statistics class instance being associated with an associative registry that is configured to allocate smallest possible objects of a size equal to or greater than to that of the statistics objects, the registry segmenting the statistics objects according to a size class. Each allocated statistics object is constructed in the object frame after the object header. Then, the object header of each allocated statistics object is initialized. Once allocated, objects can be deallocated.
