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][3][4] GlowCode capabilities include detection of performance bottlenecks and memory leaks.[5]

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.[6] GlowCode also identifies problems specific to managed code, including boxing errors, and hyperactive and loitering objects.[7]

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.[8]

GlowCode innovation has been underway for nearly two decades.[9]
