Gray Scott’s Thursday webinars continue, with this week's session focusing on memory allocation, application profiling, and their importance. Join this Thursday, 26 February 2026.
Memory issues have become a significant challenge in applications, not only due to bandwidth limitations but also because of the increasing size required by more complex and dynamic systems. How can these errors be effectively tracked and problematic patterns identified? How can memory consumption be pinpointed when an application reaches hardware limits? Building on research in memory management for HPC environments such as NUMA and parallel systems, two open-source profilers, one for malloc and one for NUMA, have been developed, compatible with C, C++, Fortran, and Rust. These tools will be briefly introduced, along with examples and the observations that can be made.
