Hi
I am now using btt to analyze a 700MB trace data and it always run oom
in my 2GB ram laptop. it also eat 2GB swap as well. Any idea why btt
need so many memory?

Well, BTT builds trees based upon outstanding IO traces. That could indicate that BTT is having a hard time dealing with your data - I find that sometimes the kernel does weird things, causing strange IO trees being built that BTT can't put back together. I've got some multi-GB sized binary files that I've handled, let me see what the memory footprint is for those...


ps, why we always need double in the code, can float fit the bill as
well?

Probably could, but I'm not too sure about some of the conversions done with LBAs. I can look into that if need be.
