#### [20.5.5.1](#pool.overview) Classes synchronized_pool_resource and unsynchronized_pool_resource [[mem.res.pool.overview]](mem.res.pool.overview)

[1](#pool.overview-1)

[#](http://github.com/Eelis/draft/tree/9adde4bc1c62ec234483e63ea3b70a59724c745a/source/memory.tex#L8081)

The synchronized_pool_resource andunsynchronized_pool_resource classes
(collectively called [*pool resource classes*](#def:pool_resource_classes "20.5.5.1 Classes synchronized_­pool_­resource and unsynchronized_­pool_­resource [mem.res.pool.overview]"))
are general-purpose memory resources having the following qualities:

- [(1.1)](#pool.overview-1.1)

  Each resource frees its allocated memory on destruction,
even if deallocate has not been called for some of the allocated blocks[.](#pool.overview-1.1.sentence-1)

- [(1.2)](#pool.overview-1.2)

  A pool resource consists of a collection of [*pools*](#def:pools "20.5.5.1 Classes synchronized_­pool_­resource and unsynchronized_­pool_­resource [mem.res.pool.overview]"),
serving requests for different block sizes[.](#pool.overview-1.2.sentence-1)
  Each individual pool manages a collection of [*chunks*](#def:chunks "20.5.5.1 Classes synchronized_­pool_­resource and unsynchronized_­pool_­resource [mem.res.pool.overview]") that are in turn divided into blocks of uniform size,
returned via calls to do_allocate[.](#pool.overview-1.2.sentence-2)
  Each call to do_allocate(size, alignment) is dispatched
to the pool serving the smallest blocks accommodating at least size bytes[.](#pool.overview-1.2.sentence-3)

- [(1.3)](#pool.overview-1.3)

  When a particular pool is exhausted,
allocating a block from that pool results in the allocation
of an additional chunk of memory from the [*upstream allocator*](#def:upstream_allocator "20.5.5.1 Classes synchronized_­pool_­resource and unsynchronized_­pool_­resource [mem.res.pool.overview]") (supplied at construction), thus replenishing the pool[.](#pool.overview-1.3.sentence-1)
  With each successive replenishment,
the chunk size obtained increases geometrically[.](#pool.overview-1.3.sentence-2)
  [*Note [1](#pool.overview-note-1)*:
  By allocating memory in chunks,
the pooling strategy increases the chance that consecutive allocations
will be close together in memory[.](#pool.overview-1.3.sentence-3)
 — *end note*]

- [(1.4)](#pool.overview-1.4)

  Allocation requests that exceed the largest block size of any pool
are fulfilled directly from the upstream allocator[.](#pool.overview-1.4.sentence-1)

- [(1.5)](#pool.overview-1.5)

  A pool_options struct may be passed to the pool resource constructors
to tune the largest block size and the maximum chunk size[.](#pool.overview-1.5.sentence-1)

[2](#pool.overview-2)

[#](http://github.com/Eelis/draft/tree/9adde4bc1c62ec234483e63ea3b70a59724c745a/source/memory.tex#L8118)

A synchronized_pool_resource may be accessed from multiple threads
without external synchronization
and may have thread-specific pools to reduce synchronization costs[.](#pool.overview-2.sentence-1)

An unsynchronized_pool_resource class may not be accessed
from multiple threads simultaneously
and thus avoids the cost of synchronization entirely
in single-threaded applications[.](#pool.overview-2.sentence-2)
