Abstract
A method for managing memory leaks in a memory device includes grouping, by a garbage collection system, a plurality of similar memory allocations of the memory device into one or more Unique Fixed Identifiers (UFIs); identifying, by the garbage collection system, one of the one or more UFIs having a highest accumulated memory size and adding each of the plurality of memory allocations in the identified one of the one or more UFIs into a Potential Leak Candidate List (PLCL); identifying, by the garbage collection system, the memory leaks in the memory device by identifying unreferenced memory addresses associated with the plurality of memory allocations in the PLCL; and releasing, by the garbage collection system, the identified unreferenced memory addresses associated with the plurality of memory allocations corresponding to the memory leaks into the memory device.
