Project Description
When analysing and evaluating memory load of concurrent applications a lot of problems may occur: Retrieving information through operating system commands cyclicly you may miss certain peaks. Information functions provided by the runtime library (malloc_info) do not support multi-threading. The memory analysis tool from valgrind called massif scales so badly that it is getting hard to observe the actual application behaviour. Those are the reasons why we have developed a very simple and light-weight memory analysis tool wich produces quite less interference. It automatically hooks calls to memory management functions and logs them or determins statistics such as maximum and total memory usage considering time and average memory usage.
