Description
#3564-24 benchmark demonstrates that NFD forwarding performance can be improved by 10% if changing memory allocator from glibc malloc to TCMalloc.
Enabling TCMalloc is as simple as installing libgoogle-perftools-dev package and adding -ltcmalloc linker flag.
This is a low-hanging fruit to improve NFD performance.
This issue involves:
- In install instructions, suggest installing libgoogle-perftools-dev package.
- In build scripts, detect the availability of
libtcmalloc.so. If it's available, add linker flag to enable TCMalloc. - In package definition, make libgoogle-perftools-dev a dependency so that released packages are linked with TCMalloc.
