27 February 2025: Gray Scott Thursdays : Memory allocation, why and how to profile applications (NCC France), online

Sometimes memory has become a major problem in applications, with its bandwidth but also by the incresing size needed by more and more complex and dynamic applications. So, how to track these errors and point problematic patterns ? How to find where the memory is consumed when the application reaches the hardware limit ? After my PhD on memory management in HPC context (NUMA, parallel, etc) I had the opportunity to develop two profilers (malloc and numa) now open-sources for C/C++/Fortran and Rust. I will briefly present these tools with some examples and expected observations. By Sébastien Vlaat, Inria – Online information & registration
