General :: Force A Process To Run In Virtual Memory?

Dec 9, 2010

I am running a series of tests for an implementation of a remote pager that sends page faults to other computers in a network. Long story short, I was wondering if there is an easy way to force a process to use virtual memory as oppose to physical RAM so that I can better measure the performance of my implementation against how the system would perform while swapping to the hard drive.

Ubuntu :: Make A Process Use Only Virtual Memory?

Oct 14, 2010

I understand that in linux virtual memory would be the same as swap and I also understand that linux only uses swap when your computer has used all your pc memory. I hope both assumption are right.Can I make a process like firefox use ONLY virtual memory/swap? No access to RAM.

Programming :: Process Memory Allocation

Apr 30, 2011

I have been assigned a school project on detecting memory leaks in linux processes. I am reading.. but have found it hard and inefficient to go through the very vast documentation not knowing what to really look for. Could you please give me some guidelines on this subject?

Programming :: Physical Memory Leaked By User Application Process Is Not Reclaimed Back After Exit?

May 2, 2010

Whenever I'm running my application process, I've 1M physical memory usage is increasing for every 2 hours.This I observed using 'free -m' command.But 'top' command did not showing any increase 'RSS' size.It is same as it was started initially.Even though I stopped my process,the increased memory was not released back. If I start my application process then again memory usage start increasing by 1M for every 2 hours. increase of memory usage observer with 'free' and that too when my application is running, but top command is not showing any change in the RSS sizeIf my application is leaking any memory which is allocated by new/malloc, that should be released back whenever my application exit and the size increase will be show through top command for that process, right? This is not happeningThis proves that there is no potential leaks in my process.But why physical memory is increasing when only my process is running?

General :: Ubuntu - Memory Full, Process Memory Usage Doesn't Add Up In Top?

Mar 18, 2011

I 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.

OpenSUSE Install :: Virtual Memory / Resident Memory Of Server?

Feb 3, 2010

we 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.

Ubuntu :: Memory Leak / Some Process Eating All Memory

Jan 29, 2011

I have had a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 and installed some software after that.Since third some, some process is eating half of my memory.I have checked processes running in system manager but everything is normal.Maximum is consumed by compiz which is about 26 mb, seems very normal.I did restarted my computer several times, and in the start for 5 mins, its fine after that again my cpu fans runs at very fast speed and my one cpu is used up 95 % (I have dual core).Please help me out, this invisible thing is driving me crazy.I am attaching my htop screen shot (sorted by cpu %), now the cpu is not used by completely but fan is still struggling hard and fast.

Server :: Having A Query Regarding Top And Virtual Memory - VIRT Mem More Than Actual Available VIRT Memory

May 4, 2010

I 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

Programming :: Memory Leaks - Glibc Detected - ./SuffixTree: Malloc() - Memory Corruption - 0x00

Mar 21, 2011

I am new to C and linux. My code below does arbitary writes but I cant figure out where or how it does it.

I am calling the insertNode() function with seq = 'MISSISSPPI$' and alphabets = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ$'

Code:

Weird behaviour I should mention is that when I check for NULL pointer in node->child[index], the unassigned values are not null anymore, they point to arbitary memory.

Programming :: SHM Memory Counted As Cache Memory With Kernel 2.6.18?

Aug 25, 2010

Is that possible that SHM shared memory is counted as cache memory on Linux with kernel 2.6.18?If find it really odd since this memory is not file backed, but I have a piece of code that loads data using shm_open+mmap, and it generates an amount of cache memory in /proc/meminfo that corresponds exactly to the amount of shared memory (I load that data from a file but I am using posix_fadvise(fd,0,0,POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED) to ensure this file is not cached and I made sure that it is working as expected). As far as I know SHM memory was not tagged as cache memory with kernel 2.6.9.If it is the case it is really unfortunate since normally cache memory can be considered to be part of the "available" memory since it can be flushed promptly but this is clearly not the case with SHM memory... Is there an easy way to get the total amount of used SHM memory on a system?

Software :: How To Get Size Of Memory Used By Each Process?

Jul 25, 2009

I need to know, what process for what purpose is using memory in my machine. ps utility with various options seems to give not exactly what i want, i.e. if i sum all the values like RSS, VSZ or some other values related to memory usage, the sum is not equal (even approximately) to what i get using free|grep "buffers/cache".
How can i get this information? Even better, i would like to see contribution of every process, ramdisk, etc. to memory usage.

Need explanation about low level (like assembly level) memory management? Such as, how does a process acquire more memory, sharing memory among processes, etc. I don't want to know how to use malloc or other library functions, but more along the lines of how an example malloc implementation would acquire memory.

General :: Memory - Preventing A Process Being Swapped Out?

Aug 30, 2011

Does anyone know of a linux utility which will prevent all memory in a forked process from being swapped out to disk? I've seen the 'mlockall' call, but hacking the app sounds like overkill.My reason for needing this is that I'm running Windows XP under VirtualBox on my linux netbook, and I'm concerned there are basically two levels of swapping going on, which on a single dinky netbook hard disk isn't

General :: Calculating Process Memory Usage?

May 13, 2010

What originally seemed like an easy thing to calculate has given me a big headache. Perhaps someone can help me with my issue. I am trying to find, in particular, how much memory certain application processes are taking. The process always is the same name, main_server, but with an argument to tell it what to do when running as a daemon.

When running the following command against all "main_server" processes, it produces a result in megabytes based on the output of the rss field in 'ps'.

Code:
CALC=0
for ea in
`ps -e -orss=,args= |
sort -b -k1,1n |
pr -TW$COLUMNS |
grep main_server |
grep -v "grep main_server" |

[Code]...

Currently I am left scratching my head. For capacity planning purposes, it would be nice to know how many more 'main_server' processes could run on the system without causing it to swap. Knowing the buffer and cache usage will go down as running processes demand more memory, I prefer to look at the free memory excluding cache and buffers. However, since 'ps' is reporting the processes are using more memory than free reports is in use without those things, I have no way to know how many more processes the system can support. I played around with different fields in 'ps', such as vsize, size, etc, but with no luck in matching up any numbers.
