Show me the memory: Tool for visualizing virtual memory usage and GC heap usage.

A colleague of mine, John Allen, created an awesome tool way back that displays memory usage in a process

Coooooool.

I wrote a similar tool, but rather than using output from windbg, I gather as much information as I can from the process live, based on procID. Obviously, this is a different situation, but I feel like it might be useful for people diagnosing issues with virtual address space.

I originally wrote it cause we were having severe fragmentation issues, and I wanted to visually see how our DLLs and whatnot were laid out in address space.

Holding Left-button pans around, and holding right-button zooms in. Hope its helpful.

Very nice PJ...

For some reason it started going into an infinite loop in the opengl libraries the 2nd time i used it, im guessing it will probably work again if i reboot. But i got a chance to try it once and really liked it

cool. What about putting it up on codeplex so people could contribute changes to it =)

I was thinking CodePlex is a good place for it as well.

Hi Tess,

Great tool!

Alas, !eeheap gives an error message of "Doesn't work with 2.x" in the latest version of WinDbg (6.11.0001.404)

When will these commands work with .NET 2.0+?

re: Show me the memory: Tool for visualizing virtual memory usage and GC heap usage.

Tess — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 09:09:42 GMT

!eeheap works in 2.0, you just need to use the 2.0 version of sos.dll

Hey Tess,

Just found this little jewel and we have found some use for it. I do have a question though, the Heap Allocs, are these unmanaged allocs?

cool, it helps a lot.

This tool can be updated to show the statistic data about complicated query for memory usage and state, for example, list the size about RegionUsageHeap|MEM_RESERVE. However, !address command doesnot support it.
