WCL405 Mysteries of Memory Management Revealed, with Mark Russinovich (Part 1 of 2)
WCL406 Mysteries of Memory Management Revealed, with Mark Russinovich (Part 2 of 2)
As Aimee and Dustin pointed out, the only sessions with a speaker name in all of Tech-Ed were the four sessions with Mark Russinovich. That qualifies him as the headline speaker at Tech-Ed as these both sessions filled the largest auditorium.
The session was similar to the one last year, and went a bit more in depth with a focus on virtual memory in Part 1 and physical memory in Part 2. Demonstrations used procexp, procmon, vmmap, rammap, and testlimit.
New this year was an explanation of how RAM optimizer software works, with a demonstration of software he created for the demonstration. By allocating memory, touching the memory range, then freeing it you can make Task Manager appear to have made memory free, but at the cost of degraded performance from effectively wiping the cache for soft faults.
Not part of the session but shown right at the end was the trailer (is it considered a trailer if it’s for a book?) for his novel Zero Day.
Even Mark had a laugh at it.
