The F# Journal: Low Latency Allocationless Programming on .NET
The latest article from The F# Journal is on a topic I sometimes get asked about when talking to people doing low-latency financial trading systems: Allocationless programming on .NET “An extreme technique used in some latency-critical applications is to completely circumvent the garbage collector by replacing all heap allocations with the use of pre-allocated arrays of value types, effectively implementing manual memory management inside a managed programming language. This might be called Fortran-style programming on .NET but the advantage is that stalls due to garbage collection can be made less frequent or even eliminated entirely…” This article has reminded me what a wealth of material is available in the archives of The F# Journal
