Abstract:
1. A method for detecting and recovering leaked memory in a computer system, comprising: detecting memory leakage within the computer system based on nonlinear and non-parametric time-series regression analysis of software telemetry data generated by a first software process of a plurality of software processes running on an operating system executing on the computer system; in response to the detected memory leakage, halting the first software process, wherein a second software process of the plurality of software processes runs on the operating system executing on the computer system while the first software process is halted; generating a first core image file of the halted first software process; re-starting, by the operating system executing on the computer system, the halted first software process; identifying, based on the first core image file, first leaked memory from the re-started first software process; and recovering the identified first leaked memory.
