1 # Actionable Memory Metric 2 3 The goal of the actionable memory metric (AMM) is to provide a view of an 4 application's memory use that application developers can track, understand, 5 and control. AMM can be thought of as a Java heap dump augmented with models 6 for non-Java allocations that app developers have some control of. 7 8 There are two components of the actionable memory metric: 9 1. The value of the metric. 10 2. An actionable breakdown of the value of the metric. 11 12 The metric is made up of a collection of separate models for different 13 categories of memory use. Each model contributes to the value and actionable 14 breakdown of the overall metric. 15 16 See models/ for a list of models proposed for the actionable memory metric. 17
