Strategy Analyzer consuming memory?

[Skechers]

Barely 4GB on AMD 2 proc in a VPS running Windows Server 2022. I'm switching to an Intel i9 with 64GB RAM this week though.

It does regularly consume basically all of the RAM because of the way GC works. So, it might consume all of the 64GB as well, but it will take longer.

[Skechers]

Yes, with the new PC, the consumption continues, but since I have more RAM, I can cycle through more optimizations before having to kill NT to release the memory.

Something in my code is causing this, I am using standard NT code, no add-ons. This is a scratch build.

How can I track this down? Is there a profiler in VS I can use to see which process/class is using up memory?

[QuantKey_Bruce]

Yes, there are some tools built into VS and of course there are a boatload of aftermarket products.

NT doesn't have a prescribed / example of profiling NT scripts?

Hello Skechers,

Thanks for your note.

We do not have an example of this specifically.

To locate what in your script is causing the behavior you could reduce the script to see what section/line of code might be causing the behavior.

For example, comment out sections of code in your script and test to see if the behavior persists. If at any time you comment out a section of code and the behavior stops, it is likely that section of code causing the behavior.

Or, you could use Visual Studio tools as QuantKey_Bruce mentioned but using those tools goes beyond the support we are able to provide you with in the Support department.

Many Thanks Brandon & Bruce.
