Ara3D.Memory

This is a collection of useful classes and interfaces in C# and .NET 8 for efficiently working with potentially large amounts of aligned low-level memory.

The primary classes and structs are:

  • AlignedMemory - A block of fixed memory that is aligned to a specific byte boundary. This makes casting between SIMD type (like Vector256) safe and efficient. It can be larger than 2GB.
  • FixedArray - A pointer to an array that is fixed in memory, and provides access via ByteSlices and Spans.
  • ByteSlice - A pointer to a region of memory, with a length. Similar to a Span<byte> except that it can be stored on the heap and can be longer than 2GB. Provides helpers for safe casting to unmanaged types.
  • UnmanagedList<T> - A dynamic array of unmanaged types which uses, and makes public, an aligned memory block. Can grow but not shrink.
  • Buffer<T> - A type-safe wrapper around a ByteSlice that exposes an array-like interface for reading and writing.
  • MemoryMappedView - A view over a memory-mapped file with support for sub-views.
  • MemoryMappedFileExtensions - Helpers to create views and read bytes into AlignedMemory.

The interfaces are:

  • IBuffer - A generic block of memory accessible as a slice.
  • ITypedBuffer - A generic interface for a buffer of unmanaged types.
  • INamedBuffer - A buffer with an associated name.
  • IBuffer<T> - An array of unmanaged types. Implements IReadOnlyList<T>
  • INamedBuffer<T> - An array of unmanaged types associated with a name.
