I'm no expert on these matters. But I have successfully used valgrind to plot 
the heap space usage of a large multi-threaded process on a Linux system. I 
found that none of the commercial products could eclipse it in terms of 
usability, presentation of (PDF based) results and simplicity.

 

You need to be more specific in your question though I feel. Are you just 
interested in heap space or in stack and static space as well.? Are you talking 
about 120 homogenous processes running on 10 systems, or an architecture of 
disparate processes? Are you talking Unix, Windows, what?

Subject: [Valgrind-users] Can valgrind be used to calculate the total memory 
usage of a parallel program


Hi, all:
 
I currently need to calculate the total memory footprint(usage) of a parallel 
program(running with 120 processes on 10 nodes ). Is valgrind suitable for this 
goal? I really appreciate you if someone can give me some suggestion. Thanks a 
lot.
