3D Memory Visualization

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

Finally I realized this morning that in addition to folding of a linear memory space into a 2D image in ParaView, the so called DLL List Landscape, we can also do a 3D folding too. I used the same dump file but this time the formula for coordinates is:

(file_size/4)1/3

so for 1,746,853 byte file we have a 3D map of 75×75x75 points. Here are some beautiful images (click on them for a larger view) that I got and I write next parts of advanced memory visualization tutorial later next week.

The chosen 3D folding shows varying 2D landscape in XY plane but almost constant landscape in YZ and XZ slices:
