CLR 4.5: Managed Profile Guided Optimization (MPGO)(eknowledger.wordpress.com)

submitted by eknowledger(156) 28 days, 13 hours ago

The Managed Profile Guided Optimization (MPGO) technology can improve the startup and working set (memory usage) of managed applications by optimizing the layout of precompiled native images.By organize the layout of your native image so most frequently called data are located together in a minimal number of disk pages in order to optimize each request for a disk page of image data to include a higher density of useful image data for the running program which in return will reduce the number of page requests from disk. if you think more about it, mostly it will be useful to machines with mechanical disks but if you have already moved to the Solid State Drive Nirvana the expected performance improvement will probably be unnoticeable. read more...

Memory in .NET - (Vagueness Of .NET Memory Management)(www.dotnetfreaks.net)

submitted by ajander(9) 5 months, 10 days ago

"Variables" are simply storage locations for data becuase it is really hard to pragramme against the memory address. It means, a variable is just an association between a name and memory slot. You can place data into them and retrieve their contents as part of a C# expression. The size of that slot, and the interpretation of the value is controlled through "Types" - and this is where the difference between value types and reference types comes in..... read more...

String-Interning-in-net.aspx(www.codemine.net)

submitted by skpananghat(184) 9 months, 21 days ago

We all know that the way .net handles a string is not optimal and uses up lot of memory, thought there are reason to do like this. But if we have more string objects or comparison inside our assembly then in this case surely it is going to be a performance hit. But here what really happens is framework itself take cares at least some part of it using the concept of Sting Interning. So what is String interning in Microsoft .net. How does it helps the C# code Execution.. It seems that there is an internal hashtable maintained with the actual string value and it’s reference to managed heap. And two methods help us to handle this hash table This is the “Intern” and “IsInterned” methods which is part of string manipulation class. read more...
