Parameters

address_boundary
Specifies the alignment (in kilobytes) at which the internal buffer address is aligned. The range of values is 1 - 2147483647.
The default value is 4. If a value of 2147483647 is specified, no internal memory alignment occurs.
The option controls the buffer address alignment in the heap and system memory. For more information, see the man pages for the posix_memalign() system call.
