Abstract
A method for detecting increasing memory consumption of an application program is provided. The method includes monitoring memory consumption at an allocation site and updating an allocation site threshold value each time the memory consumption increases. The method further includes increasing a growth period counter each time the allocation site threshold value increases in a current time period. The method yet also includes comparing the growth period counter to a growth threshold. The method yet further includes, if the growth period counter is greater or equal to the growth threshold, computing an elapse time, which is the time between the current time period and a previous growth period. The method moreover includes comparing the elapse time to a time threshold. The method in addition includes, if the elapse time is less than the time threshold, reporting the allocation site as a potential source of the increasing memory consumption.
