1. TPTP 4.4 New Java Profiler (JVMTI) Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) Heap Analysis Enhancements for TPTP 4.4 Asaf Yaffe Software and Solutions Group Intel Corporation

2. TPTP 4.4 New Java Profiler (JVMTI) Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) 2 Heap Analysis – Use Cases Display object allocation statistics over time Analyze object allocation

3. TPTP 4.4 New Java Profiler (JVMTI) Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) 3 Use case – Object Allocation Statistics Show the following statistical information about allocated objects, grouped by package/class: Package name Class name Number of live (non-collected) objects Size of live objects Total number of objects (including GCed) Total size of objects (including GCed) Average instance age Age = number of GCs an object survived Average age = sum(all ages) / Live Objects High average age => lingering instances => memory leak? Number of generations The number of different ages of live objects Many generations indicate that new instances are constantly allocated but old instanced are not GCed => memory leak?

4. TPTP 4.4 New Java Profiler (JVMTI) Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) 4 Use case – Analyzing object allocations The user selects a class entry to view the allocation statistics for the class Allocation information is grouped by allocation site Same information as in previous use-case, plus Method name, signature, and defining class (and package) Source line number (if available) If source line information is not available for the method, information is grouped by method name
