Top only show the memory usage for individual processes. Apache often runs hundreds of processes, each of which may use only a small amount of memory, however the total memory consumed by all apache processes can be fairly large.Is there a way to see the total memory usage for all apache processes?
View 7 Replies View RelatedDue to a ton of research I believe I now understand the output of ps, top, and free better than ever, and also have a relatively decent grasp on memory management (virtual address space, etc.) than I ever did before. With that being said, my server is super low on available memory and I can't make 1+1=2 on why it is. I suspect it's Tomcat/JVM (which I admittedly know precious little about). I am rebuilding this server (for a number of reasons) and plan to install 8GB but solving this mystery is key to supporting/promoting my design plans.
Relevant info So, I have very little memory left, I am swapping pretty hardcore, and even though I suspect it's the Tomcat/JVM stuff, it sure doesn't look like it from the memory tools. For that matter though it looks like "nothing" is using memory, or certainly not enough to cause such a low memory problem. The server was rebooted 24 days or so ago because it actually ran out of all virtual memory. How do I solve this mystery? Am I using the wrong tools? Am I misunderstanding my tools? What can I do to track down the processes depleting my memory?
Im trying to find a way in redhat to see if there is a command that could tell me the actual used memory by the system. For example when i do the free command, i want to see the Used minus cached value. Is there a way linux can report the true used memory and not the cached/buffer etc? if there is not specific command for that, can someone tell me a bash script that could calculate used-cached ?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI wrote a program that multiplies 2 matrices using multi-threads and another one using multiple processes and shared memory. Both in C.I need to find the total memory usage of these programs. I know of the top command, but when my matrices are relatively small they don't even show up on top because they complete so fast, how can I find the memory usage for these instances?Also, how can I find the total turnaround time of my programs?

I need this information for deciding on whether to make the library part in to application or a seperate application itself.
let me know how to clear cache memory ( RHEL 5.1 ) as it consumes almost 100% physical memory.
View 3 Replies View Relatedwe found that if we use 'top' to show the memory usage of a server (SuSe Linux 10), we can get virtual memory usage as well as 'Resident memory' usage. For virtual mem or a particular process, it is around 1.1GB, which is large but for resident memory, it only consumes 300MB. Are there anyone who knows what the differences are? I would also like to know whether the difference (1.1GB - 300MB) = 800MB are actually available for use by other applications in the system.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been setting up a vps I got out with bhost.net, with CentOS installed. I've been learning and have set up everying I need with the exception of ftp/sftp.
Using yum I installed vsftpd and ran into problems, thinking it was something I might of done I did a fresh install of CentOS and I still recieve the same problem on a fresh install so it is nothing I have done to the server.
The problem is when connecting via a sftp client I get an out of memory error. This error is listed in the putty faq ( url ) under A.7.5, there is a brief explaintion of the cure under A.7.6.
there is mention of a login script but I don't know where this is located. I'm a novice at Linux but by no means incompotent when it comes to computing.
I need to check if my DIMMs are working fine on my server.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a computer with 16GB of ram. At the moment, top shows all the RAM is taken, (NOT by cache), but the RAM used by the various processes is very far from 16GB.I have seen this problem several times, but I don't understand what is happening.My only remedy so far has been to reboot the machine.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a query regarding top & virtual memory. When we run top it show VIRT (Virtual Mem), RES (Resident Mem) & SHR (Shared Memory). The total virtual memory of my machine is 4 GBs (2 GB RAM + 2 GB Swap), but still I am able to see a process showing 4000m virtual memory column. what it means, as its show VIRT Mem more than actual available VIRT memory
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen we have Oracle 10g in RedHat, the free memory goes down soon after bootup of the system and never increases. I learnt from various forums that Linux does cache the disk files for the better performance. And when any application requires memory they get the memory and the caching does not block any memory. We want to capture the free memory available for one the harware planning activity.
1) When we use vmstat command, it gives very less free memory. since it caches large size files, the free memory is very low.
2) We tried free command, but how do we know how much actual free memory is available. i.e. excluding the cache usage
This is my first post in these forums. I'm still quite new to Linux (using Mint 9) so please bear with my not-very-articulate question(s)When I boot up and open up a tty terminal I get a message saying "Memory corruption detected in low memory." I've done an extensive google search about the issue and it seems not uncommon. I ran a memtest with no errors returned, so I'm sure that there's nothing really wrong with the memory; apparently it's a bug in the kernel that's causing this.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to run C++ program on linux.
My program consume a lot of memory so that the memory is used up fast and memory swap is very high.
I can find this by "ps" .
My program is long.
I need to find out which part of my program consume so much memory ?
I used 9.04 for months and it work fine before restarting my PC. After I restarted my PC, the memory consumption takes up to 4.2 GB after login. However, I cannot find any process that consume such large number of memory.

I allocated a chunk of memory using kmalloc in a Device Driver. Kmalloc provides a pointer to the allocated memory. This is one of my first few drivers.
I assume that the address returned is a Virtual address. I need to find the physical address of the memory location. I am working on an Intel 64 bit Fedora machine. I used the virt_to_phys() routine present in <asm/io_64.h>. I found that this routine returns an unsigned long value (32 bit) instead of an unsigned long long value (64 bit). Moreover, it seems that it simply returns the address - OFFSET instead of extracting the value in the page tables.
So is there any function / system call in Linux which will allow me to see the actual physical address on the Intel 64 arch.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLast week my server crashed. I'm trying to diagnose the cause.
This is the relevant error message in /var/log/messages:
Code:
I'm assuming that I can conclude, then, that apache/httpd was the cause of the memory leak?
Next, I've been tracking my memory usage. Using top, this is an average memory load level for my server:
Code:
I'd like to confirm if my understanding of this data is correct, because Plesk indicates that my memory usage is only 50% or less. (Though I have read a number of reports indicating that Plesk's measurements are frequently wrong.)
Top says: Of the 2,073,156K total memory, 1,982,572K (95.63%) is being used, 90,584K (4.37%) is free. Of that sum, 421,948K (20.35%) are being used as buffers. Additionally, of the 2,096,472K of Swap, 60K is used, and 887,700K (42.34%) is cached.
My questions: Is my memory actually being 95% used? Or is the buffered quantity (20.35%) not a use of physical/virtual memory? (i.e. is it disk usage?) Does the amount of cached Swap influence the percentage of physical/virtual memory being used?
In other words, who is correct? Plesk says I'm using 40-50% of my memory, whereas top says 85-95%.
My server keeps freezing up requiring a hard reboot.

I'm looking for a way to put a MySQL database in a server's memory. The disks aren't fast enough to keep up with the usage and I don't feel like going for a splitted web&db server yet because of the costs.
Because this involves risks (unless there's a way to read from the memory and write to the memory AND disks?), so I'd prefer that the DB gets copied automatically every hour or so to the local disks.
