RAM utilization keeps increasing over time

Environment: SharePoint Server 2010 on a stand-alone server, total RAM: 24GB
I noticed that on our server the RAM utilization keeps going up until it gets to about 94-97% at which point everything become extremely slow or completely non-responsive. we reboot the server, the RAM utilization goes down to about 28% but then starts
increasing again. I used Resource Monitor and looked at the memory section. From the processes listed there it looks like the sqlserver.exe process's private memory usage keeps increasing proportionally to the whole RAM utilization while the other
processes seem to be relatively constant. Here is a sample data:
August 1st: 44% used physical memory, SQL Server private memory:4.2GB
August 5th: 63% used physical memory, SQL Server private memory:8.6GB
August 9th: 74% used physical memory, SQL Server private memory:12.1GB
August 12th: 78% used physical memory, SQL Server private memory:13.7GB
Could you please suggest any tools or techniques that would help us determine what is causing this increase in RAM utilization?
thanks,

For single instance SQL 2008 R2 or higher installations where no other applications (like SharePoint) are running, it is not necessary to set MAXMEM.

I'm using ios5 in iphone4, but the 'other' capacity in itunes is keeping increasing every time after sync iphone4 from PC

I'm using ios5 in iphone4, but the 'other' capacity in itunes is keeping increasing every time after sync the iphone4 from PC, now the 'orther' usage is 0.64G.

You are of course deleting the tunes from within the iTunes interface.
The settings that I am referring to are your device settings for the iPad. It should show in the left column of iTunes when your iPad is plugged in.
Go through your playlists and make sure that the tunes(s) are removed from any playlist. You can prevent the sync as noted above then do a sync and the iPad should update with the content from you Mac.

Memory pool Code Cache increasing over time

Hi,
We are using JConsole to monitor some of our servers which are running JCAPS. We have a couple of JCAPS applications deployed on these servers. We are using JConsole to monitor this server and we can see that the Memory pool Code Cache seems to be increasing over time. It is around 21M at the moment and has gone up from 18M 3 days back. Is this accepted behavior? Should it not be a varying graph, going down coming back up again?
Any help in this direction is much appreciated.
Cheers,

This might be due to this bug raised for JDBC Client/Server connection
Bug 12969330 : MEMORY LEAK IN JDBC CS FOR CALLABLE/PREP STATEMENT W/ NUMPARM % 4 != 0
There is a leak in JDBC driver which seems to affect only C/S; it does not seem to affect direct or batch. ** This bug has been there since 11.2.1.6.0.
Here are few conditions which are needed for this bug to occur:
1. Application must be using a Client/server connection
2. Applications repeatedly does the following:
1. Create a PreparedStatement or CallableStatement
2. set or register IN, OUT or IN OUT parameters
3. Number of parameters is not an integral multiple of 4. It is the total number of parameters which matter; parameter type does not matter. JDBC driver leaks memory if the number of parameters in a PreparedStatement/CallableStatement are not an integral multiple of 4.
3. On a close 1-3 parameters can be leaked.
If your application deals with above scenario then there is a possible chance of the bug being hit. An example of a scenario :-
The below PreparedStatement has 1 parameter (so it's not an integral multiple of 4):
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT col1 FROM Tab1 WHERE col2 = ? "); <===== Possible memory leak here
To workaround the bug, you can add 3 dummy parameters -- SELECT col1 FROM Tab1WHERE col2 = ? and 1=? and 1=? and 1=? and set parameters 2,3 and 4 to 1.
preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT col1 FROM Tab1WHERE col2 = ? and 1=? and 1=? and 1=? ");
I've seen this bug a couple of times now. I don't think there is a release yet which includes a fix.

Inactive sessions increasing over time

But, the number of open connectios(ie.,other than SYSTEM active session,
i could see only inactive sessions ) is not staying constant.
Rather,it grows over time.
[NOTE:
I dont know why the application user sessions are always in inactive state.
If they didn't use that session at all (or) if the session is not doing any operation means , why unnecssarily the have to open these many inactive sessions.]
Can you please give me a solution to overcome the application's connection leak?

This appears to be a duplicate of the post I replied to in When we go for shared Server environment?

About this mac storage backups is growing over time

I have a Timecapsule that I use time machine to backup 2 macs to. One of the macs concerns me because when I go to "about this mac", "storage" the value for "backups" is increasing over time. each mac has its own unique account one of them has zero for the length of backups, both appear to backup ok with time machine. Is the value for backups as indicated in the mac a sign that it's not being backed up to the time capsule? do i have a configuration problem?

The sparsebundle can be checked on the TC for each machine.. mount the backup and make sure it is working.
0 for length of backup isn't right.. there is always something to backup.

Memory keep increasing

i'm using windows 2k to run my application.
i can monitor the usage of memory. what i found from my application is the memory keep increase every time i execute i function.
and util 1 time the memory maximum usage and my java application 'hang'.
and need to restart. only the meory release and refresh and will goes the same.
is there anybody out there can help me here. pls help i'm in critical situation. my company is scolding me.
tank you very much.

java -verbose:gc
Will help to keep track of your gc's, by calling themself, I assume tim ment recursive, are you using a recursive methid, that is:
void recursive() { recursive() };(bad example I know, but I'm lazy), this would eat memory.

Skype using High levels of RAM over time

So recently i've noticed that Skype has been using increased levels of RAM over time. Before i think 7.1 it sat at a steady 170k or lower but since the recent update, it seems to scale all the way up to nearly using 80% of my RAM after being on for an hour. Is there a reason this happens or is it a memory leak issue?

Hi,
I'm having the same issue as you.
For my situation, with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, with 8 GB of RAM available, Skype use randomly from 400 Mb to 1.5 Gb of Ram slowing down all the PC..
I have to kill the Skype process for working well.
My SKYPE version is 7.3.0.101.
I need to resolve this problem (and, from my point of view, uninstall the newest version and install the older one is not a solution)
Thanks in advance

Increase and decrease a numerical text layer over time

I need to create a text layer with a numerical value that will range from 0% to 100% over time using key frames. I need the value to change over time, increasing or decreasing the percentage based on key frames. Any ideas? Thank you!

Add a Slider Control effect to the text layer, which you use to keyframe the percentage, then use this expression on the text layer's Source Text property:
effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value.toFixed(0) + "%";
The value in toFixed(0) controls the number of decimal places.

Possible to increase rate of rotation over time?

I need to simulate something similar to the effect of a car wheel rotating, strictly in 2-D, a totally flat side-view. The complication is that I need the "wheel" to be stopped at first, then slowly ramp up speed over time until it reaches a maximum rate. Is it possible to increase the rate of rotation over time? I have tried creating a constant-rate rotation, then exporting as a Quicktime and applying a speed ramp to the mixdown. This looks terrible.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Also, I may post this over at the FCP board, in case anyone there has an idea.
John

Actually, that's not true for FCP or Motion. You can set a keyframe at 0 rotation, and then another at the point where you want the rotation to be a full speed and a third keyframe at the end of your animation. Then just right-click the 1st keyframe in the keyframe editor and choose Interpolation: Bezier.
From there, it's just a matter of adjusting the curve until you have the ramp that you're looking for.
In FCP, you can add keyframes in much the same way in the Motion tab. Then you right-click the 1st keyframe and choose Smooth from the menu. This will give you a bezier handle that you can adjust to create a ramp.
I suggest using Motion though as it's a little easier to add and adjust keyframes.

Firefox 4.0 RAM usage soars over time in Mac OSX 10.6.7 and is never freed

Firefox 4.0 RAM usage typically averages between 400-750MB for light usage (1-2 windows, 1-3 tabs each). Memory usage skyrockets over time, and/or if I open more tabs or windows where I've seen it consume well over 1 GB of RAM of my total 4 GB. Firefox 4.0 never seems to free much of this RAM relative to what it's consuming either.
The only plugins enabled are QuickTime, Flash and Java (and disabling any of these to use Firefox efficiently should not be required).
The worst I've ever seen was it using 1.27 GB of RAM when all I had open was Facebook (1 window, 0 tabs). Something is not right with this browser...Shouldn't it free what it isn't using?

Same here. I upgraded to FF5 yesterday morning and by this morning FF was using 1.26GB RAM and over 1GB Virtual Memory (less than 24 hours). I've had this problem ever since I started using FF with version 3...
The only add-on I use is Firebug.

HT3275 time machine backup keeps increasing

While Time Machine is backing up, the amount of date to be copied keeps increasing. It gets most the way through the backup, then both figures (backing up / to be backed up) increase in tandem.
I'm using a WD My Cloud.

Hello,
The timer isn't all that accurate, but should count up as it finds more needing backup, bit how long has it been now?

How can I create a ramp function, that continuously increases the voltage over time?

I do not have the option of upgrading to a full version or version 7, so I do not have the ramp vi. How can I increase the voltage over time, because I don't think that ramp vi even has a time element.

The ramp.vi can easily be duplicated with a few wire strokes, see e.g. attached diagram image.
(Of course, in your case you don't even need the ramp output, just update the voltage in a timed fashion as shown. Just add your own trimmings).

Increase video exposure gradually over time

So, i've made a timelapse in which photos is getting from lighter at the begging to darker in the end, because natural light conditions were also changing. I could not alter shutter speed, iso, aperture during the whole process, as it was set on manual. Is it possible to add exposure effect which could change exposure over time gradually foe example from 0 to +5 , to compensate video from getting slowly darker. I hope you get the idea. Or i have to manually change the exposure of source images which ar darker before making timelapse video. Thanks in advance for answering the question.

Add an Adjustment Layer for your compensating effect, then:

My 27' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM iMac keeps restarting.

My I wonder if anyone on here could help me.
My 27' 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 12GB RAM iMac keeps restarting all the time. It's been happening for months now but has got worse and worse. It started when I was using programmes like adobe Pr & Ae but now it happens when I have only have safari or other small apps open.
What happens is the screen freezes, I can hear a clicking should and then the machine just restarts all of a sudden.
I get the message: 'Your computer was restarted because of a problem. Click report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple' which I have done ever time for about 50+ times now in total. The 'problem details and system configuration' states the below:

I use my iMac daily for work and it happens from 4-10 times a day depending on what applications i'm using. More if I'm trying to render a video. It is really furstrating and keeps me from doing any work at all, I can't keep working like this but I have no choise. I really can't be without my computer for very long as I use it to do everything and I do not have another. Also I have all my files on the hard drive. I have bought a Seagate external HD to back up my files onto so I can make a genus bar appointment but everytime I run time machine or try to copy any of my files over to the external HD the machine restarts and disrupts the file transfer. So I can't even back up my files which are really important to me. I even had to retype this whole message becuase my imac restarted while I was fulling in this question.
What is worse is that I bought the extra warrenty (Apple Care) which is due to expire sometime in March 2014 I'm unsure of the date. Might have expired already I don't know. So I need to get this fixed ASAP.
Extra information on the machine:
iMac
27-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB
Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
Can anyone see from the information I have given about what could be wrong with my machine?
Any help or assistance would be much appriciated.
Thanks,
James

Hi. I am currently having the same issue on my 2011 27" 3.1 GHz i5 with 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
For the last couple of months I have been experiencing random restarts, power offs and so on. I have already had this escalated and had my machine taken into Apple to run a Hardware test. They redid the newest OSX version in store and ran the AHT for an hour and got no results. The Genius Bar were asked by Apple Canada to run an all night test. According to Apple they ran the test for 4 hours and got nothing. I was then told to take the machine home and run it with just the memory that was original in the machine. I stressed tested the video card with a benchmark tool called Heaven for 2 hours. 90C was the temp and no failure. I did a Terminal "Yes" loop for a couple of hours and no failure on the CPU. I ran the Apple Hardware Test for 11 minutes and this is the result.
I also have a video of what happened after I restarted the test after about a 5 minute cooldown period. 20 minutes into the test the Imac stalled and made 3 long beeps over and over again like an alarm with a long pause between. I took the memory out of the DIMM 0 & 1 slots and replaced them in the 2&3 slots rand the test and got nothing after 2 hours. I put the memory back in the original spot and ran it again and got no results. Apple contacted the "Genius" techs and they informed them that I had fixed the problem and everything should be good now. I was also told to go ahead and transfer back over my Time Machine Backup. Since this all happened I have had the Imac restart 2 times in the last almost 2 weeks and today got this error message

I would also like to add that The Second High Level tech I spoke to told me to use a program to take an image of what my computer was doing when the fresh install of Mavericks was installed and then again after the Time Machine restore. I sent both and have had no response back. The "Engineers of Apple" would be taking a look at those files. This is what I was told anyway's.
So I would like any advise because Apple hasn't been too helpful. I haven't heard anything back at all. Its been a little while. This seems that it could be an issue. I sat in the store speaking to a gentleman with a brand new iMac 27 inch that was having the same exact issues. I was told his was newer so they were not the same. The owner of the new iMac just rolled his eyes and laughed. James McConville seems to be having the same issue and I have read quite a few others before I saw this post from yesterday.
Help Us Please.
