Processes eating up RAM

Underneath here is a list of running processes. Right now I have 835 MB free
out of 2.00 GB RAM. With so few processes running I am puzzled at why it is using so much RAM. Can anyone answer this question and if it should be something of concern? Like why is it using so much idle RAM...
Locked: 147.28

Yosemite is eating more RAM

Hi i upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks and now i am facing that my mac is eating more ram. please suggest me a solution for this

More RAM would mean that more apps could be open and run more efficiently. Remember, the OS requires a minimum of 1gb of RAM, FCE requires a minimum of 1gb, and then there's all those background processes running that you don't see; each with their own RAM requirements. So if you want to have FCE running along with a few other apps, more RAM would be recommended.
It would also help to keep things running smoothly if a minimum of 10 to 20% free space is maintained on all hard drives.

Can a OLAP Cube be Processed in to RAM , Can this be done using Traditional BI ? , If we can place the entire SSAS Cube in RAM for better performance , how can it be done?

I'm trying to increase the performance of my OLAP Cube and i thought placing the CUbe entirely in RAM can solve this problem. can anyone please answer me , if this can be done using Traditional BI i.e SSAS and how?

Hi Nagarjuna:
I do not believe you can load the entire cube into RAM and even if you were able to do so, I don't think you'll be able to solve you performance issues.
Here is a thread with the same discussion and it has some good links that you can visit to learn more about where the performance issues are emanating from -
How to cache all SSAS 2008 cube processed data into RAM
Also, please tale a look at the followoing guide - Analysis Services Performance

Hope this helps.

Final Cut Pro X is eating my RAM.

I'm not sure what is going on here, but Final Cut Pro X totally eats up my 20 Gigs of RAM. The background tasks window shows zero activity, and all I am doing is trying to make cuts to the footage in my timeline. After an hour, the interface is sluggish (to put it mildly) and 4 out of 10 cut actions cause the program to crash.
I even tried opening the program and doing nothing. It STILL eats my RAM up in roughly an hour.
I have opened other projects from Final Cut 7 for some kind of comparison and I have not experience the same issue. Granted they are two completely different programs.
Any ideas?

Well, my setup works sweetly with 8 GB Ram.
Here I go with the same old boring checklist . . .
If you're getting crashes, autosave problems etc, there is more than likely some conflict on your system drive.
Create a new (admin) user on your Mac system and try FCP X from there.
I did this, and FCP X worked perfectly on the new account, meaning there was definitely a conflict on my existing system.
To be absolutely certain my MacPro's system was squeaky clean, I then did a clean reinstall (not TimeMachine) and FCP X has worked reliably ever since.
FCP X application should be in your Applications folder and ideally, your project and events should all be on an external HD and not on your Mac system drive.
I have over 3700 clips distributed between five events at the moment and FCP X is coping very well most of the time.
It helps to work without the waveforms displayed as these slow things down considerably.
Do you have FC Studio or a version of FCP on the same drive partition as FCP X? This is known to cause problems and not advised by Apple.
I quote from the Apple Support Website (23rd Sept 2011).
"It is strongly recommended that you install Final Cut Pro X, Motion 5, and Compressor 4 on a startup disk that does not have Final Cut Studio (2009) already installed. Use Apple's preferred installation procedure when upgrading one version of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Studio to the next. This procedure is not unique to Final Cut Pro X."
Note that Apple use the word "strongly" - some people prefer to ignore this, and then blame Apple for all the sins on earth.
I don't.

Process, SecurityAgent: User, _securityagent ?? Eating up RAM

Hey there. I'm running 10.10.2 with updated server software. I don't run much of anything. I run server for Software updating my home machine, Time Machine server, File Sharing, and netboot/netimage for my small shop.
I also run a Minecraft server, which runs on its own from my main user. That server requires me to run DuckDNS as well.
I have been seeing multiple instances of the SecurityAgent process pop up, and I can't figure out what is causing it. I've read some things that suggest it is a normal OS X process, but I can't imagine this many of them running at once to be normal.
Any thoughts?

Sorry, I somehow missed that. AFAIK, you can only apply incremental updates while booted on the volume you want to update. Next step is to boot with the install disk and do an Archive & Install installation, saving user and network settings. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120 for details.

SC3.1/2xV40z: java process eating memory

I've got a 2-node Cluster (SC 3.1) on Solaris 10x86 606 running. Uptime is about 171 days. noticed a java process allocating about 1.3 GB of RAM. This happens only on one node. The other one shows max. 256 MB allocated by a particular java processes.
Is there a memory leak in the SC3.1 software?

Which java process is it? If it is cacao, then you've hit CR 6359362. It doesn't look like there is a fix just now, but the workaround is to disable cacao from starting up. See the CR for details.

Weirdest Logic behavior (Deleting tracks will eat up RAM)

Hi,
I've been a Logic 9 user for quite a few years (4-5yrs at the least) and have never experienced anything like this.
I'm currently working on a film project which requires using at least 25-30 Kontakt loaded tracks. My computer, 2.6Ghz i7 16gb Ram running on 10.7.5, has been handling this ram/cpu eating project fairly well for the past few weeks. I've been very careful while working and I'd purge any unused samples loaded on Kontakt. Usually I'd have at least about half of my RAM unused (6-7GB). Even in an intense action scene my computer was rarely frozen.
Now, I'm done with my sequencing and for the past few days I've been spending my days exporting/ bouncing in place my tracks so that I could mix them once they are converted to audio tracks. Once I'm done converting midi to audio tracks I always pack them into the folder and delete the rest of midi tracks.
THE WEIRDEST EVENT OCCURS WHEN I'M DELETING MY TRACKS, LOGIC WILL EAT UP MY RAM LIKE MY SISTER EATING A CHOCOLATE. Deleting a single track would consume AT LEAST 1gb of memory loss. After deleting 5-6 tracks my activity monitor shows that my computer only has about 4-6mb of ram left. By then, my logic session is nearly frozen and I have to run my memory cleaner app to free up my ram space.
This is perhap the most bizzard logic phenomenon that's ever occured and I'm very puzzled at this moment. I guess the best solution at this point for me is to reinstall logic 9 but at least I'd like to hear opnions from Logic gurus out there. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It doesn't jump for me however I'd thought I put my 2 cents in and ask if anyone else gets this behavior:
I'm in a similar situation. I want to 'clean up' the session. I have a bunch of xtra tracks I didn't use or multiple instances of the same track, from 'mute and create new track' feature. As I start to delete the extra tracks, when I get to the 3 - 6th track, Logic will re-initialize the audio core driver. All virtual instruments will 'blank' out, and it will take anywhere from 8 - 20 seconds for Logic to 'boot' them all again. It was acting very bad a month or two ago, it would re-initialize after 3 deletes. Lately, It's more like if I delete 8 or more tracks. (I usually don't have that many to delete) This is not consistant, it DOESN'T always happen.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Locate rogue java process eating swap space.

How can i find a rogue java process (lwp) eating up swap space ? The system is very low on swap but has half of memory free.

I'd start with ps -e -o vsz,pid,args | sort -nThe process with the largest VM footprint will be on the bottom.
How are you measuring that swap is being eaten? Are you using 'swap -s'? Is it mainly going into allocation or reservation?

Oracle export process eating up 95-99% of server cpu

Hi Everyone,
I noticed that my export process is eating a huge amount of the server's cpu resources.
Is there a way to control the resources allocated to my export process?
thanks

>Isn't that spinning and CPU usage ?
Yes. No. Spinning on a latch means that the process is in wait state - waiting to access the resource. It means that every now and then, the process will check the resource state to determine if it can obtain access to it.
Does "spinning" eat up CPU time? Typically not. And 99% of the time where is does, it is due to the type of shoddy "loop spinning" that I've demonstrated with the 1st sample piece of code above (called [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting]busy waiting).
The norm is that a process in a wait state consumes very little CPU time. There are actual CPU instructions that tells the CPU to "ease off", like the [url http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HLT]HLT instruction. This instruction is used at a higher level abstract(API) level - like with the DBMS_LOCK.SLEEP() API call.
> CPU usage DOES convey information.
You are missing the basic point that I was trying to make. In terms of performance measurement, it says nothing. It does not say GOOD. It does not say BAD.
Why?
An idle CPU can be a result of exceedingly poor performance caused by process serialisation (like in PL/SQL doing your own sequences by locking a table to do a SELECT MAX() to get next sequence number to use). Seen this one myself and most recently on a Superdome that showed idle CPU utilisation with the performance being excruciatingly slow.
An idle CPU can be simply because of no work to be done.
An idle CPU could be because of an I/O bottleneck as a 200 parallel query processes all hit the same I/O channels.. and then have to sit back and wait for the I/O calls to be completed. Saw this one often on Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) many years ago.
Similar situation for a heavily utilised CPU. The actual utilisation figure does not tell you how much of that CPU time used, is used effectively by optimally designed and coded processes.. and how must is wasted by poorly design and coded processes.
From a performance perspective, it alone says nothing.
And this is what the OP says - he's seeing 95+% CPU utilisation when running an export. Is it a performance problem? If so, what can he do about it?
The answer to which is, identify if there is an actual performance problem as 95% CPU utilisation alone does not tell us whether that is good and efficient usage of CPU time, or abuse and wasted use of CPU time.

MassStorage process eats my cpu

Hi,
since i installed 10.4.8, my system has been behaving in a strange way. Iphoto now recognizes my firewire mass storage (160 gb hard disk on an enclosure) unit as a camera... and i notice that the MassStorage process (as i see it in activity monitor) get to use 30% or 50% of Cpu (intel imac 17 inch), until it gets stuck "not responding" and it goes up to 80%. After i kill the process, everything goes back to normal. The thing is, i use the storage devide very much, and even when the system starts i see it eating my cpu.
how can i resolve this? is there any known workaround? i dont think it is a normal behaviour, its been happening since yesterday.
Thanks in advance.
Alberto Rojas

Ok, so spotlight indexed my hard drive again, and i let massstorage to finish its work. I know the process is directly related to the indexing process, but i cant make it stop. The indexing setting is set to off (through terminal) but it keeps working everytime i restart, even in the admin account in my mac, and even after the process is finished. There has to be a workaround, im still looking around for answers.
thank you very much for your help.

ML eating up RAM!!!

Hi,
I use an early 2011 13" MBP with 4Gb RAM and just upgraded to ML a few days ago. The sole reason for upgrading was the AirPlay feature.
Haven't done a "clean install". Downloaded ML from the Mac AppStore and installed it.
Immediately after installing ML, I have been having the major RAM issues. I mostly use the MBP for word processing and Emails.
I have noticed that the RAM usage has increased. Typically only about 1Gb Ram is Free.
Whenever I start the MBP from about half hour of sleep mode, the FREE RAM drops down to 2 to 5 Mb within 5 to 10 minutes, leaving me no option but to reboot, that to by keeping the power button pressed to force shut down!
After rebooting, it works OK with about 1 to 1.5 Gb free till I shut it in sleep mode and restart the MBP, after which the same problems crop up again...
Earlier with the Snow Leopard OS, I used to restart the MBP maybe once in 8-10 days. That too in most cases because the battery had totally died!
Need some help to sort this out immediately...
Ciao,

I wouldn't even attempt to run Mountain Lion with 2GB of RAM! But what you're seeing is normal. If you want to have more free space, you'll just have to install more RAM. Here's what my RAM configurations looks like right now:
That's 1.12GB 'free' out of 16GB. But I don't worry about it... and it doesn't slow anything down.
If you want to purchase more RAM, I would recommend going to the Crucial website and using their System Scanner app to upload your configuration. Crucial will recommend the upgrade paths.
Good luck,
Clinton

Firefox Eating Away RAM on my Leopard Machine

I am not sure if it is the right place to post this. I use Leopard on my 2GHz Macbook with 2GB RAM. Istat dashboard widget always shows that Firefox (v3 beta 5) is eats away all my RAM (between 260-300MB)? Is it some memory leak problem of Firfox or something to do with OSX? Should I not worry considering I have enough RAM? Any solution to give limited food to starving and greedy firefox.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Premiere CC 2014 eating up RAM

When I work in Premiere CC 2014.1, as was the case in prior versions, it is soaking up my RAM. Below are screen shots of when I first open Premiere, up to about 10 minutes later, when almost all of my available memory is shown as used (Premiere gets pokey when working in the timeline at that point). I have no other programs open.
I'm on a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon mid 2010 Mac Pro
32 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB (this card is a recent upgrade...was having the same issue with the previous ATI Radeon)
OS 10.9.5
Apple Pro Res 422 media
I have Preferences>Memory set to optimize for Memory and have 28GB available to Premiere.
I'm not using any third party plugins on the timelines I'm working on (nor any effects), though I do have plugins loaded.
I have had this issue when working on my internal Seagate 7200RPM drives as well as my external eSata RAID drives.
Does anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts as to what might be happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
--jon--

My Premiere Pro CC 2014 also freezes when I try to export. I do not get any error messages, it just freezes and I have to restart my computer. The only way I can render is to Queue to Media Encoder CC 2014.
I have tried posting my problem many times but this Community Forums will not accept my post and keeps telling me to 'try again later .m4'.

Coreservicesd eating up RAM-Memory

Hello,
our Server (xserve late 2009) 10.8.4 is starting fine, but after some while, the coreservicesd RAM-usage is getting bigger and bigger...
After some Time ist has up to 9GB from 12GB total RAM...
This causes swapping of files and heavy disc-usage..
Our server is 2,26 Quad-Core with 12 GB Ram
Any idea, what can be the reason for it?
Thanks,
Fabian

Hi
If you have it turned on then turn off the screensaver. You should not be running OS X Server with a screensaver set anyway.
HTH?
Tony
PS: HTH = hope this helps
