GlowCode is a performance and memory/resource
profiler developed by Electric Software Inc.
Overview
GlowCode is used by software developers to analyze and optimize
application
Application may refer to:
Mathematics and computing

In computer science, a memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations in a way that Computer memory, memory which is no longer needed is not released. A memory leak may also happe ...
s.
While the profiled application runs, GlowCode shows the duration, frequency and use of function calls, and identifies which functions play the most significant role in time-intensive tasks, which execution nodes are the source of multiple memory leaks, and which allocations are the source of excessive consumption of memory and resources. GlowCode also identifies problems specific to managed code, including boxing errors, and hyperactive and loitering objects.
GlowCode profiles:
* 64-bit and 32-bit code
* Managed, native and mixed code
* Code written in C, C++, C# or any .NET Framework-compliant language.
GlowCode innovation has been underway for nearly two decades.
