Tiered data management method and system for high performance data monitoring

A system for managing memory for an application, comprising:

• a processor core coupled to the memory;
• and,
• at least one of hardware and software modules within the memory and controlled or executed by the processor, the modules including:
• a module for assigning a first block of the memory to the application when the application is initiated, the first block having a first size, the first block being assigned to the application until the application is terminated;
• a module for dividing the first block into second blocks, each second block having a same second size, said each second block containing data for only a single data structure respectively, a second block of the second blocks for containing data for one or more components of the single data structure to be accessed by one thread of the application at a time;
• and,
• a module for dividing the second block into third blocks, each third block having a same third size, a third block of the third blocks for containing data for only a single component of the single data structure.

A method for managing memory in a system for an application, comprising:

• assigning a first block of the memory to the application when the application is initiated, the first block having a first size, the first block being assigned to the application until the application is terminated;
• dividing the first block into second blocks, each second block having a same second size, said each second block containing data for only a single data structure respectively, a second block of the second blocks for containing data for one or more components of the single data structure to be accessed by one thread of the application at a time;
• dividing the second block into third blocks, each third block having a same third size, a third block of the third blocks for containing data for a single component of the single data structure;
• and,
• if the single component is associated with variable length data:
• assigning a fourth block of the memory to the application when the application is initiated, the fourth block having a fourth size, the fourth block being assigned to the application until the application is terminated;
• dividing the fourth block into portions, each portion having a variable size, the variable size being indicated at both a start and an end of the portion;
• and,
• establishing a pointer from the third block to a portion of the fourth block, the portion for containing the variable length data of the single component, the third block for containing the pointer.
