Linux top not tallying with java used memory

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – 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) values shows fluctuation up and down? So which should we follow to decide on exact memory usage? My intention is to identify if there is any memory leakage in my application? (HowTos)

Linux out of memory on VPS 25 weeks 4 days ago

On my VPS (CentOS) 4GB ram (2 + 2 dynamically assigned when needed) and i have tomcat running with following options JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m".

I have the hs_err_pid of a long running java process that has received a SIGSEGV. In C.6 System Section I can get a rough approximation of the free memory on the system from (MemFree + Buffers + Cached) / MemTotal, but I would like to find out exactly how much memory this process was addressing at the time of the crash, is this captured in this file?

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.

I have a serious problem

I want to run a Linux command using a Java class with the runtime interface, there is a command to create a folder named eg "My Folder", with a space

For create the Unix command is easy to do either: mkdir My\ Folder or mkdir "My Folder"

But how to translate this in Java, I tried with two commands : Runtime.exec("mkdir My\ Folder") Runtime.exec("mkdir \"My Folder\"")

We are using Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7 running on Amazon EC2. IIS is running a single .NET application written in C#.

We are having performance issues and I want to give the application more memory, but I cannot figure out how to do it. How do I control the amount of memory that the CLR gets?

I'm a total newbie with IIS, .NET and the CLR.

Running my java application takes more memory on my new rhel62 machine. The same program takes less memory on rhel55.

i wrote a very simple 'HelloWorld' java program, and run it. That too takes huge memory in rhel62.

My coldfusion server debugging is no longer working,... no changes to the system, just stopped.

I have the following questions regarding Linux memory:

I know that the active memory is the portion of memory which is most frequently accessed. But can someone explain me how linux considers a memory location to be utilised for active memory or inactive memory. What all components does active memory comprises of ?

Here's the scenario;I'm working on an embedded project using ArchLinux at its core. The application I'm running creates a cache of content utilized by the end-user at first runtime, and updates it each subsequent runtime. If the content directory reaches around 4000 items, this causes menu selections to become quite slow, since its reading from a disk-based cache.
