128G VFS Memory Slab Allocation Guide: Empirical Data for 128GB Partitioning

• its just a JSON, nothing else

Overview

This dataset represents long-term statistical analysis of memory allocation patterns on a small in-mem-simple-VFS, providing empirical guidance for partitioning a 128GB memory slab. The data shows optimal distribution of memory block sizes based on real-world usage patterns.

Key Statistics

Recommendations for 128GB Partitioning

Optimal Block Allocation Strategy

1. Small Objects (1B-1KB):

   • Allocate 25-30% of total memory
   • Focus on 256B, 512B, and 1KB blocks
   • Most frequently accessed (60% of allocations)

2. Medium Objects (2KB-64KB):

   • Allocate 50-60% of total memory
   • Prioritize 2KB, 4KB, and 8KB blocks
   • Balance between fragmentation and utilization

3. Large Objects (128KB-64MB):

   • Allocate 15-20% of total memory
   • Emphasize 128KB, 256KB, and 512KB blocks
   • Minimize external fragmentation
