Memory Analysis in a Nutshell

Although there are many factors that can affect the quality of service
an application delivers, few have as severe a negative impact as poor
memory utilization. Analyzing memory-related problems such as memory
leaks or a high memory footprint has proven to be very time-consuming
and difficult. Fortunately, the process might be significantly simplified by a
memory analyzer tool recently contributed to the open-source community
by SAP.

This session provides an advanced introduction into the memory
analysis and is a quick start for those willing to achieve proper
performance in their Java applications. The talk presents a robust yet
easy-to-use tool that automates and noticeably eases the analysis.

In the course of the session you will:

• learn the key concepts of HPROF binary heap dump analysis
• learn about the known memory antipatterns and ways to find them
• learn by “practical example”: live demos on how to find big chunks of memory or complex memory aggregation patterns and identify the software components which captivate this memory
• learn from the experience of others: memory analysis automation
