Data

This node is presented only for non-profiled processes. A profiled process has more details on the memory types (for instance, it knows if the memory is part of the GC heap), so it will use the Other data node to present additional information about data memory.

Data memory is memory that can be private, shared, or potentially shared. This memory can be, for instance, resources of a module or memory allocated using VirtualAlloc or HeapAlloc. The GC heap is also a part of the Data memory.

The profiler tries to match the memory with the file (.exe, .dll or memory mapped file) that contains the data. If it succeeds, the memory is presented under the Data node using the name of the matched module; otherwise the memory is presented as “<Other>.”
