.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Enables tracking of the heap memory utilization in the program. TAU takes a sample of the heap memory utilized (as reported by the mallinfo system call) and associates it with a single global user defined event. An interrupt is generated every 10 seconds and the value of the heap memory used is recorded in the user defined event. The inter\-interrupt interval (default of 10 seconds) may be set by the user using the call
TAU_SET_INTERRUPT_INTERVAL.
