Recently I did a few videos for the popular "Defrag Tools" series on Channel9. They are just talking about pretty basic things about doing managed memory investigations so I'd imagine for most of you it's something you already know. However, you can feel free to suggest things you'd like to see in the comments of these videos (or on this blog for ...
This is now live from CLR's team blog. This paints a more complete picture than what I talked about in my "What's new in 4.5 GC" Channel 9 interview which mostly focused on Server Background GC. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dotnet/archive/2012/07/20/the-net-framework-4-5-includes-new-garbage-collector-enhancements-for-client-and-server-apps....
Last time I posted a "So, what's new" entry was when we release 4.0 ~3 years ago (can't believe it's already been that long..). Now I get to talk about what's new in the 4.5 GC. Actually I just talked about this with Channel 9 and here's the link to the video: https://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Maoni-Stephens-CLR-45-Server-Background-GC ...
I’ve talked about finalization before but based on seeing questions related to it it appears that it deserves some clarification. First of all, finalization is a mechanism we provide in the CLR wheras Dispose is a programming pattern. See Clearing up some confusion over finalization and other areas in GC for an explanation why we ...
Wow, it’s been almost a year since I last blogged J We just shipped CLR V4.0. Yay! An internal email thread prompted me to write this blog entry – one very powerful tool I wanted to point out when you need to debug/investigate issues is your debugger (if your debugger is also windbg/cdb that is J since that’s what I use and that’s ...
A couple of weeks back my PM and I did a channel9 video on Background GC. Take a look: https://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Going+Deep/Maoni-Stephens-and-Andrew-Pardoe-CLR-4-Inside-Background-GC...
PDC 2008 happened not long ago so I get to write another “what’s new in GC” blog entry. For quite a while now I’ve been working on a new concurrent GC that replaces the existing one. And this new concurrent GC is called “background GC”. First of all let me apologize for having not written anything for so long. It’s been quite busy ...
