Gazing into the Void: Understanding Space (Leaks)
Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.
Whilst this is somewhat true, laziness makes it very easy to introduce space leaks into a program and use more memory than necessary. Therefore it's important to understand the tools and techniques at our disposal for analysing and correcting memory usage.
In this talk, Matthew will explore different ways to analyse the memory usage of programs. Starting with the humble heap profiler, he'll look at its different modes of operation and how to interpret the heap profiles. He'll then discuss some more precise techniques to find space leaks and possible future directions for space profiling.
