How much RAM is used per program . Empty

Note : The following Script determines, the RAM used by a program, including accumulated usages for process spawn by a program.

This script is written by Pádraig Brady , He can be contacted at P@draigBrady.com. The script itself follows :

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python


# Try to determine how much RAM is currently being used per program.
# Note the per program, not per process. So for example this script
# will report mem used by all httpd process together. In detail it reports:
# sum(all RSS for process instances) + max(shared mem for any process instance)
#
# The shared calculation below will factor out shared text and
# libs etc. within a program, but not between programs. So there
# will always be some overestimation. This will be the same for
# all processes that just use libc for e.g. but more for others
# that use larger shared libs like gnome, kde etc.


# Author: P@draigBrady.com

# V1.0      06 Jul 2005    Initial release
# V1.1      11 Aug 2006    root permission required for accuracy
# V1.2      08 Nov 2006    Add total to output
#                          Use KiB,MiB,... for units rather than K,M,...
# V1.3      22 Nov 2006    Ignore shared col from /proc/$pid/statm for
#                          2.6 kernels up to and including 2.6.9.
#                          There it represented the total file backed extent
# V1.4      23 Nov 2006    Remove total from output as it's meaningless
#                          (the shared values overlap with other programs).
#                          Display the shared column. This extra info is
#                          useful, especially as it overlaps between programs.
# V1.5      26 Mar 2007    Remove redundant recursion from human()
# V1.6      05 Jun 2007    Also report number of processes with a given name.
#                          Patch from riccardo.murri@gmail.com

# Notes:
#
# All interpreted programs where the interpreter is started
# by the shell or with env, will be merged to the interpreter
# (as that's what's given to exec). For e.g. all python programs
# starting with "#!/usr/bin/env python" will be grouped under python.
# You can change this by changing comm= to args= below but that will
# have the undesirable affect of splitting up programs started with
# differing parameters (for e.g. mingetty tty[1-6]).
#
# For 2.6 kernels up to and including 2.6.13 and later 2.4 redhat kernels
# (rmap vm without smaps) it can not be accurately determined how many pages
# are shared between processes in general or within a program in our case:
# http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/6/250
# A warning is printed if overestimation is possible.
# In addition for 2.6 kernels up to 2.6.9 inclusive, the shared
# value in /proc/$pid/statm is the total file-backed extent of a process.
# We ignore that, introducing more overestimation, again printing a warning.
#
# I don't take account of memory allocated for a program
# by other programs. For e.g. memory used in the X server for
# a program could be determined, but is not.
#
# This script assumes threads are already merged by ps

# TODO:
#
# use ps just to enumerate the pids and names
# so as to remove the race between reading rss and shared values

For example you can call the script, as following to see the memory usage of openoffice word program ( swriter ).

Code:
[root@chandan-gateway chandan]# ./ps_mem.py | grep swriter
 45.3 MiB +  6.4 MiB =  51.7 MiB      swriter.bin

now lets check how much my firefox is using :
Code:

[root@chandan-gateway chandan]# ./ps_mem.py | grep firefox
105.6 MiB +  8.4 MiB = 114.0 MiB      firefox-bin
[root@chandan-gateway chandan]#

wow, a whopping 140 MB.

Now lets check how much my kde friends are eating up .

Code:
[root@chandan-gateway chandan]# ./ps_mem.py | grep kde
 52.0 KiB +  84.0 KiB = 136.0 KiB      start_kdeinit
148.0 KiB +  1.0 MiB =  1.1 MiB      startkde
268.0 KiB +  3.4 MiB =  3.7 MiB      kdeinit
  3.3 MiB +  8.3 MiB =  11.6 MiB      kded
  4.1 MiB +  11.0 MiB =  15.1 MiB      kdesktop
]


Finally, if you want to see the RAM Usage for all programs ( remember not processes ) than you can do it as follows :

Code:
[root@chandan-gateway chandan]# ./ps_mem.py

 Private  +  Shared  =  RAM used      Program

[root@chandan-gateway chandan]#


See, it lists the memory usage for processes, sorted in reverse order, that means the last process listed is using the highest memory, in this case it is Firefox using 140 MB memory.



Hope this is useful.
