The TLAB is the Thread Local Allocation Buffer. In short and a bit simplified, normally when you allocate memory, the allocator needs to synchronize between threads because RAM is a shared resource. This means that a thread that allocates a lot can disrupt the performance of other threads, among other weird effects. But there's a small buffer called the TLAB owned by each thread where this isn't true: Allocation in the TLAB doesn't require synchronization. The TLAB makes allocating small ephemeral objects much faster. |
