What is Object Pooling?

[chinmay.sahoo]

It is something that tries to keep a pool of objects in memory to be re-used later and hence it will reduce the load of object creation to a great extent. Whenever there is a request for a new object, the pool manager will take the request and it will be served by allocating an object from the pool. Pooling basically means utilizing the resources efficiently, by limiting access of the objects to only the period the client requires it

An object pool is a collection of a particular object that an application will create and keep on hand for those situations where creating each instance is expensive. A good example would be a database connection or a worker thread.

The object pool allow you to pool things you plan on recycling many time throughout your game, by enabling you to demand a new item from it, and tell it whether or not it must provide you with a object or only provide you with a object that available.

An object pool is a gathering of a specific question that an application will make and continue hand for those circumstances where making every example is costly. A decent case would be a database association or a specialist string. The pool looks at cases in and for clients such as books out of a library

Pooling & Object Pooling :

Pooling basically means utilizing the resources efficiently, by limiting access of the objects to only the period the client requires it.

Increasing utilization through pooling usually increases system performance.
Object pooling is a way to manage access to a finite set of objects among competing clients.
In other words,object pooling is nothing but sharing of objects between different clients.

Since object pooling allows sharing of objects ,the other clients/processes need to re-instantiate the object(which decreases the load time), instead they can use an existing object.
After the usage , the objects are returned to the pool.

nice explanation. thanks a lot

The object pool pattern is a software creational design pattern that uses a set of initialized objects kept ready to use – a "pool" – rather than allocating and destroying them on demand. A client of the pool will request an object from the pool and perform operations on the returned object. When the client has finished, it returns the object to the pool rather than destroying it; this can be done manually or automatically.

Object pools are primarily used for performance: in some circumstances, object pools significantly improve performance. Object pools complicate object lifetime, as objects obtained from and returned to a pool are not actually created or destroyed at this time, and thus require care in implementation.

Object Pooling is nothing but pool or buffer of objects & reuse those objects from that pool. To rephrase it simply, we can say Object Pooling is a collection of reusable objects.

An object pool is a collection of a particular object that an application will create and keep on hand for those situations where creating each instance is expensive. A good example would be a database connection or a worker thread. The pool checks instances in and out for users like books out of a library

I agree with this post.

A object pool is a selection of a particular item that a software can provide and keep on hand for those circumstances where developing each instance is expensive. A good example would be a data source relationship or a worker thread.

The Object Pool Pattern keeps objects ready for use over and over again instead of re-instantiating them and destroying them once finished.
