Caching in C #

Question

I just saw a very interesting conversation by Herb Sutter at a 2014 construction conference called "Modern C ++: What You Need to Know." Here's a link to the video call: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Build/2014/2-661

One of the topics of discussion was how std::vectorvery convenient for caching, mainly because it ensures that its elements are contiguous on the heap, which has a big impact on spatial locality, or at least what I think I understand ; this is even the case for inserting and deleting elements. Smart use std::vectorcan lead to significant performance improvements through the use of caching.

I would like to try something like that with C # /. Net, but how to ensure that objects in my collections are contiguous in memory?

Any other resource pointer is also welcome for caching convenience in C # and .Net. :)

Answer 1

It seems that the only way to achieve this in C # is to use value types, which means using structures instead of classes. Using List will then store your objects in continuous memory. You can read more about structures and classes here: Choosing between a class and a structure

Answer 2

List, (, std::vector). . .
