Valgrind is an instrumentation framework that runs a program by simulating every instruction. It has several tools. Memcheck is the original one, used for detecting memory errors. Massif is a memory profiler.
(The output it produces, example: https://gist.github.com/mvidner/4e8ed01c7dabb648a50e0dd5f0fdcc62 )
The basic invocation of Massif is simple, valgrind --tool=massif my_program its_arguments, so for YaST
