peak memory usage

Hi,

What is the right way/tool to find the peak memory usage of a C++ program?

I tried Valgrind but is does not seem to be able to answer my question.

Thanks a lot,
Ray

Yes, I would like to know the peak.

Is there a way to find it out?

Not without modifying Massif.
If memory serves correctly, Massif produces a plot of memory consumption
over time. Would that get you at least close enough to what you need?

Yes, you are correct, it produces a plot, but is difficult to get the
peak exactly.

Would a Python process consume more memory on a PC with lots of memory? For example, say I have the same Python script running on two WinXP computers that both have Python 2.4.0. One computer has 256 MB of Ram while the other has 2 GB of Ram. On the machine with less Ram, the process takes about 1 MB of Ram. On the machine with more Ram, it uses 9 MB of Ram. Is this normal and expected behavior?

I am trying to optimize my C# program, but no matter what I try the application keeps eating memory. I verified all the references and even got special software to count references. I made sure all the reference count reaches zero for all the objects that are no longer used. I also call Dispose as much as possible. Regardless, the memory is not freed. Even if I force the GC, some memory gets freed but not much.

Hello I have noticed some 'weird' memory usage in a vb.net windows app The situation is as follows I have an app (heavy on images) with 2 forms (actually there are more forms and on starting the app I load some things into memory for global use of the app but I'll use only 2 starting forms to explain the situation) situation 1 start app with form 1 (72mb memory usage), show form 2 and hide form 1 (89 mb memory usage

We have a VERY simple .NET C# Form Application, that has about a 23MB Memory Footprint. It starts a window runs a process and does a regular expression. I have done a GC.Collect to make sure that, no memory is lying around. GC reports only 84k of allocations. Starting 5-10 of this apps is going to start taking a considerable amount of memory. Is there a way to reduce this? Tom

I've made a testing program to test the memory usage of some Data Forms. I create a MDI parent form with one single MDI child form, which is a Data Form generated by .NET Data Form Wizard.

The memory usage shown in GC falls, however, the memory...

Hello, I'm exploring why one of my C# .NET apps has "high" memory usage, and whether I can reduce the memory usage. I have an app that wakes up and processes text files into a database periodically. What happens, is that the app reads the contents of a text file line by line into an ArrayList. Each element of the ArrayList is a string representing a record from the file. The ArrayList is then processed, and the arraylist goes out of...

Hi, all. In 1998, I graduated from Computer Science Dept. in a university in China. Since then, I've been using C Language for almost 6 years.

How come .Net applications use so much memory? Every application I compile uses at least 10 MB of memory, even the ones consisting of only a form and nothing else. If I minimize them though the memory usage drops to a couple hundred KB. Why? Is there anything I should to to prevent this? I have compiled in release and deactivated all forms of debugging, I think! Thanks, Philip

I was intriuged by the concept of Python Eggs and some of the work that has been done on PEAK. http://peak.telecommunity.com/ However, I think PEAK might be overkill for the particular design I am considering. Is anyone using just part of PEAK in their Python development. Are there alternative distribution enhancements for Python besides PEAK that I might take a look at?
