Answer 1

I don't know your background, but apart from the paper already pointed out by jj1bdx you can also give a chance to Jesper Wilhelmsson thesis.

BTW, if you want to monitor memory usage in Erlang to compare it to e.g. C++ you can check out:

• Erlang Instrument Module
• Erlang OS_MON Application

Hope this helps!
