MandalaConsulting.Memory

A .NET library providing memory management utilities for optimizing application performance through controlled garbage collection.

Overview

The MandalaConsulting.Memory library offers utilities to manage and optimize memory usage in .NET applications. It provides controlled garbage collection mechanisms to help return unused memory to the operating system.

Installation

Install via NuGet:

dotnet add package MandalaConsulting.Memory

Usage

GarbageCollection Class

The GarbageCollection class provides methods to perform manual garbage collection and attempt to return unused memory to the operating system.

using MandalaConsulting.Optimization.Memory;

// Create a new instance
var gc = new GarbageCollection();

// Perform garbage collection
gc.PerformGarbageCollection(null);

Key Features

  • Manual Garbage Collection: Triggers garbage collection on demand
  • Memory Return to OS: Attempts to return unused memory back to the operating system
  • No-GC Region Management: Uses .NET's no-GC region feature to optimize memory return

How It Works

  1. Garbage Collection: Calls GC.Collect() and waits for pending finalizers
  2. Memory Assessment: Checks total memory usage
  3. No-GC Region: Attempts to create a no-GC region to facilitate memory return
  4. Memory Release: Ends the no-GC region, triggering memory return to the OS

Best Practices

  • Use sparingly - manual garbage collection can impact performance
  • Best suited for scenarios where large amounts of memory need to be released
  • Consider using after completing memory-intensive operations
  • Monitor application performance when implementing manual GC

Requirements

  • .NET Standard 2.0 or higher
  • Compatible with .NET Core 2.0+ and .NET Framework 4.6.1+
