Memory Validator can do this.

There are several different reports that you will find useful:

• Running Totals. This is presented as a dialog box and provides current, cumulative and total values for each of the main memory allocator (C runtime, HeapAlloc, LocalAlloc, GlobalAlloc, CoTaskMemAlloc, etc).

• Objects. This is one of the main tabs and displays object type, size, count, cumulative. Also subtabs for per-thread and per-dll values.

• Sizes. This is one of the main tabs and displays size, count, cumulative. Also subtabs for per-thread and per-dll values.

• Virtual. This displays a graphical view of memory (one pixel == one page of memory) and has subtabs showing detailed virtual memory data for virtual memory pages and virtual memory paragraphs.
