CentOS - Convert swap memory to regular?

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – Take a look at this screenshot that I took after doing free -m: http://gyazo.com/aa54d264956e56acb99024e2374de0c0.png?1340387738 I notice that I have a ton of swap memory not being used, could I convert that to something that CAN be used? I'm sort of a noob with this, sorry if it's a stupid question. Also, when doing top as outlined in Who is using the swap memory and why? I see that java is only using 47.8% of my systems memory. My java process is being used to run a game, and the players are always lagging out. Is there a way to increase this so it has to use more so my players don't lag? (HowTos)

Swap space issue. 36 weeks 2 days ago

Hi,

I am not sure how many scripts / java processes running on my HP-UX server.

I need to calculate the total heap of these processes.

I then need to recommend increasing the swap memory to be increase and equal to total heap if that is the right concept.

Determing size of swap space 37 weeks 5 days ago

Hi Experts,

Need your advise in determining the size of swap space in of the new HP-Ux server.

Server is having 32G of physical memory.

Ideally what amout of physical memory should be allocated as a swap space?

Following document from HP suggests to have minimum swap space equivalent to physical memory on the system.

We have a java application where towards the last part of the codes we wrote these lines

Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime(); long memory = runtime.totalMemory() - runtime.freeMemory(); System.out.println("\n\nUsed memory is bytes: " + memory);

What we notice is that over time the top shows increase in the memory(%) column for the application but the java memory(from runtime variables) valu

Strange memory leak 22 weeks 2 days ago

After updating to systemd (maybe after it) strange things with memory:In one moment count of free memory precipitously start decrease, in 10 seconds in decrease to 0, after it same happen to swap.http://i.imgur.com/ANqbn.pngIn that screenshot you can see, that top-memory process (luakit) owns only 10% (200mb). I can't say who owns all memory, but this is not one process.

I am having issues with a server running out of physical memory and I'm having troubles discerning whether it is from my application's Java process or something else on the server.
