Unlike existing tools, smem can report proportional set size (PSS), which is a more meaningful representation of the amount of memory used by libraries and applications in a virtual memory system. Because large portions of physical memory are typically shared among multiple applications, the standard measure of memory usage known as resident set size (RSS) will significantly overestimate memory usage. PSS instead measures each application's "fair share" of each shared area to give a realistic measure. http://www.selenic.com/smem/ smem src 8111fae657a771fb96293d9f0e2a4f7e75c65551786e3dadf09a6ca12de78c97 Report application memory usage in a meaningful way smem is a tool that can give numerous reports on memory usage on Linux systems.
