Run Control Toolbar (Memory Profiling)

Related Topics

In the Purify standalone interface, you can use the Run Control toolbar to start and stop program runs, take snapshots and force garbage collections while a program is running, and compare memory data from multiple runs and snapshots. The Run Control toolbar is a dockable toolbar. You can attach, or dock, the toolbar to any side of its parent window, or you can detach the toolbar and float it in its own mini-frame window.
