Just like in the title, what is a contiguous memory block?

I am running a C# application that services HTTP requests. I have noticed recently that it's taking up more memory then I expect. I grabbed some dumps, popped them in Windbg, and found that most of...

For both on-heap and off-heap allocations. On-heap - in the context of three major garbage collectors: CMS, Parallel Old and and G1. What I know (or think that I know) to the moment: all object ...

Our app creates alot of small objects while running. It mostly comes down to Autoreleased NSString and NSNumber objects. Since the app is designed to run "24/7" in the background heap fragmentation...

Are there any good memory fragmentation profilers? (linux gcc version would be nice). Valgrind cannot analyze this because it uses custom malloc/free functions. Thanks, Andrew

In my class we have an assignment and one of the questions states: Memory fragmentation in C: Design, implement, and run a C-program that does the following: it allocated memory for a sequence o...

In the past, when I've worked on long-running C++ daemons I've had to deal with heap fragmentation issues. Tricks like keeping a pool of my large allocations were necessary to keep from running out...

I am trying to understand how heap fragmenation works. What does the following output tell me? Is this heap overly fragmented? I have 243010 "free objects" with a total of 53304764 bytes. Are th...

I'm causing the device (iPad) to run out of memory apparently, so it is jettisoning my app. I'm trying to understand what is going on as Instruments is telling me that I'm using about 80Mb, and the...

I need to answer a basic question from inside my C program compiled by GCC for Linux: how much of process heap is currently in use (allocated by malloc) and how much resides if free heap blocks. GN...

I'm looking to write a self defragmenting memory manager whereby a simple incrementing heap allocator is used in combination with a simple compacting defragmenter. The rough scheme would be to al...

How can I monitor or visualize memory fragmentation of a delphi application?
