Abstract
A method and system for facilitating runtime memory analysis. The method includes: assigning a unique ID for each task in a running program; recording memory access events occurring during the running program, including the IDs of the task performing the memory accesses; issuing a task termination notification in response to a task terminating, the task termination notification including the ID of the terminating task; and releasing all the memory access events having the ID of the terminating task in the memory, in response to the task termination notification. This method and system can ensure that the memory access events stored in the memory will not increase unlimitedly, so that the memory overhead is reduced remarkably and dynamic memory analysis can be faster and more efficient.
