Class CacheUtil

java.lang.Object
org.lwjgl.util.mapped.CacheUtil

public final class CacheUtil extends Object
This class provides utility methods for allocating cache-line-aligned NIO buffers. The CPU cache line size is detected using a micro-benchmark that exploits the performation degredation that occurs when different threads write to different locations of the same cache line. The detection should be reasonably robust on both the server and client VM, but there are a few system properties that can be used to tune it.
