Large-scale Structure of Memory Space (Part 1)
There are many books and articles titled “Large-scale Structure of X”, where X can be Space-Time, Cosmos or Universe. Here is the large-scale structure of 12Gb complete memory dump:
The image was generated with the help of ImageMagick. The dump file was interpreted as a raw RGBA image with 8-bits per color:
C:\MemoryDumps>convert -size 56751x56751 -depth 8
-resize 450x450 rgba:complete.dmp dump_12Gb_rgba_8_sq.jpg
The width and height were calculated as sqrt(filesize/4).
Complete memory dumps are physical memory dumps where modularized structure of virtual space of kernel and process memory is not expected but we see some structure nevertheless.
I’ve also created two pages with dump slices. Some viewers do not handle files with more that 32767 pixels in one dimension so I split 450×56751 slice into two:
Complete Memory Dump Slice Part 1 (11Mb JPEG)
Complete Memory Dump Slice Part 2 (10Mb JPEG)
