缓冲文件(用于更快的磁盘访问)

问题描述 投票:42回答:5

我正在处理大文件,直接写入磁盘很慢。因为文件很大,我无法在TMemoryStream中加载它。

TFileStream没有缓冲,所以我想知道是否有一个可以提供缓冲流的自定义库,或者我是否应该只依赖OS提供的缓冲。 OS缓冲是否可靠?我的意思是如果缓存已满,可以从缓存中刷新旧文件(我的)以便为新文件腾出空间。

我的文件在GB范围内。它包含数百万条记录。不幸的是,记录不是固定大小。所以,我必须做数百万的读数(4到500字节之间)。阅读(和写作)是顺序的。我不会上下跳进文件(我认为这是缓冲的理想选择)。

最后,我必须将这样的文件写回磁盘(再次写入数百万的小写)。


对David Heffernan赞不绝口! David提供了一段很棒的代码,提供缓冲磁盘访问。 人们你必须拥有他的BufferedFileStream!这是黄金。并且不要忘记upvote。 谢谢大卫。

Windows文件缓存非常有效,尤其是在使用Vista或更高版本时。 TFileStream是围绕Windows ReadFile()WriteFile() API函数的松散包装器,对于许多用例来说,唯一更快的是内存映射文件。

但是,有一种常见的情况是TFileStream成为性能瓶颈。也就是说,如果每次调用流读取或写入函数时读取或写入少量数据。例如,如果您一次读取一个整数数组,则在调用ReadFile()时一次读取4个字节会产生很大的开销。

同样,内存映射文件是解决此瓶颈的一种很好的方法,但另一种常用的方法是读取更大的缓冲区,许多千字节说,然后解决将来从内存缓存中读取流的问题,而不是进一步调用ReadFile()。此方法仅适用于顺序访问。


从您更新的问题中描述的使用模式,我认为您可能会发现以下类将为您提高性能:

TFileStream类在内部使用CreateFile函数,该函数总是使用缓冲区来管理文件,除非您指定FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING标志(请注意哪些不能直接使用TFileStream指定此标志)。有关更多信息,您可以查看这些链接

您也可以尝试TGpHugeFileStream,它是Primoz Gabrijelcic的GpHugeFile单元的一部分。

如果你有这种代码

而Stream.Position <Stream.Size呢

您可以通过将FileStream.Size缓存到变量来优化它,它会加速。 Stream.Size使用三个虚函数调用来查找实际大小

干杯

为了每个人的兴趣:Embarcadero在最新发布的Delphi 10.1 Berlin中添加了TBufferedFileStreamsee the documentation)。

不幸的是,我不能说它如何与这里给出的解决方案竞争,因为我还没有购买更新。我也知道这个问题是在Delphi 7上提出的,但我确信Delphi自己实现的引用在将来会很有用。

所以TFileStream要慢,它从磁盘读取所有内容。并且TMemoryStream不够大。 (如果你这样说)

那么为什么不使用TFileStream将一个高达100MB的块加载到TMemoryStream中进行处理呢?这可以通过简单的预分析器来完成,该预分析器只查看数据中的大小标题,但这会恢复您的问题。

让代码实现其大文件可能会出错并完全避免这种情况并不是坏事:允许它从TMemoryStream处理(不完整)块,这也会在需要时将线程增强功能纳入视图(hdd访问不是瓶颈)。
