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 9fd0c8e39fe2dc0ff00740fc331f5fbc2d9d76be0200b345bee57918d527b0ce Report application memory usage in a meaningful way smem is a tool that can give numerous reports on memory usage on Linux systems.
