Re: memcheck is getting SIGKILLed before leak report is output

> Is there anything that can be done with memcheck to make it consume less memory?

First of all, figure out whether memcheck got sigkilled because the machine
ran out of space, or because you hit some shell limit/ulimit.  In the former
case, you can then try adding swap space to the machine.  In the latter case
you'll need to mess with the shell's ulimit settings.

You could also try reducing the (data) size of the workload.

Massif and Memcheck are different tools and do largely different things.
Whether or not you can use one or the other depends a lot on the specifics
of what problem you're trying to solve.
