Detailed Description

A linear allocator where each allocation is a simple increment to the cursor. Garbage collection controls when the cursor resets back to the beginning.

Member Function Documentation

Allocate()

VirtualAddress AZ::RHI::LinearAllocator::Allocate ( size_t  byteCount, size_t  byteAlignment  )

overridevirtual

Allocates a virtual address relative to the base address provided at initialization time.

Parameters

byteCount	The number of bytes to allocate.
byteAlignement	The alignment used to align the allocation.

Implements AZ::RHI::Allocator.

DeAllocate()

void AZ::RHI::LinearAllocator::DeAllocate ( VirtualAddress  offset )

overridevirtual

Deallocates an allocation. The memory is not reclaimed until garbage collect is called. Depending on the garbage collection latency, it may take several garbage collection cycles before the memory is reclaimed.

Implements AZ::RHI::Allocator.

GarbageCollect()

void AZ::RHI::LinearAllocator::GarbageCollect ( )

overridevirtual

Allocations are deferred-released until a specific number of GC cycles have occurred. This is useful for allocations actively being consumed by the GPU.

Implements AZ::RHI::Allocator.

GarbageCollectForce()

void AZ::RHI::LinearAllocator::GarbageCollectForce ( )

overridevirtual

Forces garbage collection of all allocations, regardless of the GC latency.

Implements AZ::RHI::Allocator.

GetAllocatedByteCount()

size_t AZ::RHI::LinearAllocator::GetAllocatedByteCount ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the number of bytes used by the allocator. This includes allocations that are pending garbage collection.

Reimplemented from AZ::RHI::Allocator.

GetDescriptor()

const Descriptor & AZ::RHI::LinearAllocator::GetDescriptor ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the descriptor used to initialize the allocator.

Implements AZ::RHI::Allocator.

Shutdown()

void AZ::RHI::LinearAllocator::Shutdown ( )

overridevirtual

Implements AZ::RHI::Allocator.
