Subject: SLUB vs SLAB allocator
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 19:12:28 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAA=4085Ts34niMCG1XWLJanG7SCZzB+dmyQHKTg+Ch_mEGeN_Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,
 I  found that in many worst case scenarios like fragmention of
allocator , slub performs well than slab.
  I also noticed that Centos /Ubuntu etc switched to SLUB but SLES
still uses SLAB in the default image.

Any particular reason where SLAB is the choice ?


I ask this since i find SLUB to be the default choice since 2.6.23 as
per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLUB_(software)



Regards,
Navin
