mallocMC: Memory Allocator for Many Core Architectures
This project provides a framework for fast memory managers on many core
accelerators. Currently, it supports NVIDIA GPUs of compute capability
sm_20 or higher through the ScatterAlloc algorithm.
This library implements the ScatterAlloc algorithm, originally forked from the ScatterAlloc project, developed by the Managed Volume Processing group at Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision, TU Graz (kudos!).
From http://www.icg.tugraz.at/project/mvp/downloads :
ScatterAlloc is a dynamic memory allocator for the GPU. It is
designed concerning the requirements of massively parallel
execution.
ScatterAlloc greatly reduces collisions and congestion by
scattering memory requests based on hashing. It can deal with
thousands of GPU-threads concurrently allocating memory and its
execution time is almost independent of the thread count.
ScatterAlloc is open source and easy to use in your CUDA projects.
