AGGREGATED ACCOUNTING OF MEMORY USAGE IN JAVA

Abstract

Profiling of application memory consumption typically includes a trade-off between overhead and accuracy. We present a new approach for memory usage accounting which has a comparatively low overhead and still provides meaningful results. Our approach considers the structure of modern applications by introducing the notion of memory accounts where application modules get “charged” for memory allocations. We have applied this approach to Java application servers and discuss important implementation aspects as well as experimental results of our prototype.
