Memory

The Advanced Profiler - Memory tab displays information about how memory is managed by the Wwise sound engine. Information is displayed about each of the memory categories tracked by the memory manager.

[Note] Note

Memory may become fragmented as your game is being played. This means that you may not have as much free memory as you think (Total Reserved - Used).

Description
Global Statistics
Used The sum of used memory across all categories.
Device Used The sum of used device memory across all categories.
Total Reserved The total amount of memory reserved by the memory manager. This corresponds to used memory and device memory, plus memory manager caching and overhead.
Limit The memory limit currently configured in the memory manager. Will display as '-' when no limit is set. When set, the Total Reserved will not be allowed to exceed this limit.

Used

The amount of memory currently used in the memory category.
Peak Used

The peak amount of memory used in the memory category since the initialization of the memory manager.

Allocs

The number of allocations performed since the memory manager was initialized.

When this number increments, it indicates that the memory manager is currently allocating memory.

Frees

The number of deallocations performed since the memory manager was initialized.

When this number increments, it indicates that the memory manager is currently deallocating memory.

Cur. Allocs

The number of memory blocks that are currently allocated. The Current Allocs value is the number of Allocs minus the number of Frees.

When this number increments or decrements, it indicates that the memory manager is currently allocating or deallocating memory.
