Memory

Landing page for all things memory-related in Chromium.

How is chrome's memory usage doing in the world?

Look at the UMAs Memory.{Total,Renderer,Browser,Gpu,Extension}.PrivateMemoryFootprint.

How do developers communicate?

Note, these channels are for developer coordination and NOT user support. If you are a Chromium user experiencing a memory related problem, file a bug instead.

name	description
memory-dev@chromium.org	Discussion group for all things memory related. Post docs, discuss bugs, etc., here.
chrome-memory@google.com	Google internal version of the above. Use sparingly.
https://chromium.slack.com/messages/memory/	Slack channel for real-time discussion with memory devs. Lots of C++ sadness too.
crbug Performance=Memory label	Bucket with auto-filed and user-filed bugs.
crbug Stability=Memory label	Tracks mostly OOM crashes.

I have memory problem, what do I do?

Follow these instructions to file a high quality bug.

I'm a developer trying to investigate a memory issues, what do I do?

See this page for further instructions.

I'm a developer looking for more information. How do I get started?

Great! First, sign up for the mailing lists above and check out the slack channel.

Second, familiarize yourself with the following:

Topic	Description
Key Concepts in Chrome Memory	Primer for memory terminology in Chrome.
memory-infra	The primary tool used for inspecting allocations.

What are people actively working on?

There are roughly three types of memory work within Chrome:

Team based, targeted improvements. Examples include:
- memory reductions for specific components [e.g. for v8]
- allocator improvements [e.g. PartitionAlloc]
- memory purging at appropriate times [e.g. on tab background]
- better memory pressure signals
Memlog: Heap profiling in the wild for regression detection + root cause analysis.
Lab tests: Perf waterfall for micro-regressions, ASAN/MSAN/LSAN, blink leak detector.
