GlowCode is a performance and memory/resource profiler developed by Electric Software Inc.[1]

Overview

GlowCode is used by software developers to analyze and optimize application performance, speed and resource use.[2] GlowCode capabilities include detection of performance bottlenecks and memory leaks.[3]

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.[4]

GlowCode also identifies problems specific to managed code, including boxing errors, and hyperactive and loitering objects.[5] GlowCode profiles 32- and 64-bit managed, native and mixed code written in C, C++ or any .NET Framework-compliant language.[6]
