Abstract:
1. A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for allocating assets, the method comprising: performing, using a design program, analysis of software assets of a software program being designed to identify multiple operation sectors defined by the software program, the software program configured to generate a virtual environment comprising operation sectors that are traversable by a user of the software program; assigning each of the identified multiple operation sectors to respective ones of multiple load groups, each load group grouping at least one operation sector for loading assets of the operation sector into memory; assigning all assets from the multiple operation sectors into respective ones of multiple clusters based on associations between the respective assets and the multiple operation sectors; generating and storing a memory layout that assigns one of multiple memory locations to each of the multiple clusters for at least one of the multiple load groups; and providing, to a designer of the software program a user interface displaying memory-activity feedback about the software program using the memory layout, the memory-activity feedback provided without executing the software program.
