SAP Memory Analyzer is a fast and feature-rich heap analyzer that helps you easily find big chunks of memory and identify who is keeping these objects alive. The Memory Analyzer was developed to analyze productive heap dumps with hundreds of millions of objects. Once the heap dump is parsed, you can re-open it instantly, immediately get the retained size of single objects and quickly approximate the retained size of a set of objects. The Analyzer is (relatively) low on resource consumption, so you can analyze multi-GB heap dumps on 32 bit boxes.
