Debugging memory leaks and malloc errors

Finite memory magnifies the challenge of scaling your code

The fact that memory is a limited resource has a significant impact on the implementation of your application, especially when it contains millions of lines of code.  As program complexity grows,  memory leak debugging and troubleshooting malloc errors becomes more difficult.  TotalView and MemoryScape can help you surmount those obstacles.

Risk of data corruption and random crashes

Memory-related code defects can cause out-of-control resource and random data corruption. Memory errors can also manifest themselves as random program crashes, negatively impacting productivity. In a worst-case scenario, memory errors can result in corrupted data causing programs to generate inaccurate results.  Our tools help you manage that risk by ensuring working code and accurate results.

"To ensure our scientists' success, we need to provide them with the most comprehensive optimization tools available...they find [TotalView] indispensable in developing and debugging their programs."
