Applications often have large runtime memory requirements. In some cases, large memory
footprint helps accomplish an important functional, performance, or engineering …

Memory leaks are usually not associated with runtime environments with automatic garbage
collection; however, memory leaks do happen in such environments and present a …

Understanding the data structures in a program is crucial to understanding how the program
works, or why it doesn't work. Inspecting the code that implements the data structures …

We introduce object ownership profiling, a technique forfinding and fixing memory leaks in
object-oriented programs. Object ownership profiling is the first memory profiling technique …

Object-oriented programs often require large heaps to run properly or meet performance
goals. They use high-overhead collections, bulky data models, and large caches …

Memory leaks are a major threat in modern software systems. They occur if objects are
unintentionally kept alive longer than necessary and are often indicated by continuously …

Complex software systems often suffer from performance problems caused by memory
anomalies such as memory leaks. While the proliferation of objects is rather easy to detect …

The behavior of an object-oriented software system is notoriously hard to understand from
the source code alone. The main reason is the large gap between the program's static …

The Pipe-and-Filter style represents a well-known family of component-based architectures.
By executing each filter on a dedicated processing unit, it is also possible to leverage …

Modern memory monitoring tools do not only offer analyses at a single point in time, but also
offer features to analyze the memory evolution over time. These features provide more …
