NAME

       TAU_TRACK_MEMORY - Initializes memory tracking system

SYNOPSIS

       C/C++:

       TAU_TRACK_MEMORY(void);

       Fortran:

       TAU_TRACK_MEMORY(void);

DESCRIPTION

       For memory profiling, there are two modes of operation: 1) the user explicitly inserts
       TAU_TRACK_MEMORY_HERE() calls in the source code and the memory event is triggered at those locations,
       and 2) the user enables tracking memory by calling TAU_TRACK_MEMORY() and an interrupt is generated every
       10 seconds and the memory event is triggered with the current value. Also, this interrupt interval can be
       changed by calling TAU_SET_INTERRUPT_INTERVAL(value). The tracking of memory events in both cases can be
       explictly enabled or disabled by calling the macros TAU_ENABLE_TRACKING_MEMORY() or
       TAU_DISABLE_TRACKING_MEMORY() respectively.

EXAMPLE

       C/C++ :

       TAU_TRACK_MEMORY();

       Fortran :

       call TAU_TRACK_MEMORY()
