Automatic memory managementTerms

Domain, Heap, Generation 0, Generation 1, Generation 2, Large object heap

Heap

AllocationInitial

CLR reserve memory for small object heap and large object heap(16MB / 64MB)

newobjAllocate memory from heap

Generation Promotion

CollocationWhen

Generation 0 is fullCall GC.Collect()Low memory

GC Mode

GC

Workstation Server

ConcurrentCollections

“Normal”Background GC

GC Mode - DefaultSingle processor should use default Mode

GC Mode – Concurrent GCIn background garbage collection, ephemeral generations (0 and 1) are collected as needed while the collection of generation 2 is in progress

GC Mode – Server ModeHigh priority threadGC together, so garbage collection is fasterServer garbage collection often has larger size segments

Pinned ObjectWhy do we need pinning

Interop with unmanaged codeHow objects get pinned

GCHandleType.PinnedAllowed by language syntax, eg. fixed in c#Args get pinned by the interop frame

Fragmentation problem

Domain MonitoringCan not disable after enableGlobalPerformance hunt (about <1%)Does not count memory from Marshal.AllocHGlobal

Memory LeakStrong ReferenceAllocate Memory by Marshal
