Experiences Using STF
The basic format is relatively compact
- Overhead of object references can be be further reduced by taking advantage of STF composite objects.
- Producer’s data mapping can make the STF more efficient by sharing objects where possible.
Memory use is controlled by parameters internal to the STF software which limit the footprint.
Extraction time performance is limited by current Level 0 API support software.
- Originally designed fro in-memory conversion
- When used for extracting data from STF, the memory management scheme causes excessive allocation and freeing of memory.
- Redesign of the support layer is scheduled
