Re: Free Memory
Dear all,
I can know the today RAM installed in a Sun Solaris 8 machine by the command "prtconf | grep Memory", let says 16GB
But, how can i know how much memory out of this GB is free or available for use?
Joe
you can use top to see how much memory is not being used ..

Set get parameter but free memory id is not working
Hi All,
I am using set get parameter to transfer data from one module to another .
But when i am trying to clear the memory id using Free memory id .
it is not doing that.
Does it work with import export.
What method i should use to clear this memory id ..
Thanks in advance

High cache usage of free memory
I dont know if this is normal but my fresh archlinux x86_64 install with Xfce uses round 300Mb of 4Gb ram space after boot but then after i start and close some programs i get to 3 Gb used of 3.87 Gb free memory when all applycation are closed. Now i understand that kernel caches some data in memory but i cant clear it all with commands:
sync
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
After i do that system reports 540 Mb used compared to 300Mb from boot. Is there a way to limit the ammount of cache usage so i dont end up having all free memory used by cache?
Last edited by Anril (2009-12-29 13:19:52)Ram that is unused is wasted ram, the linux kernel manages it very well so no worries there.
If you have swap usage it's because most probably you have things stored in the ram that are not being used often but cannot be discarded too so things being used more often take precedence.
If you think you have enough ram for all your needs then why not disable swap? I've read that there might be a speed penalty for running without swap but I've been running my system without swap (arch64 4G ram) and I've never had any bad surprises.
There are a few things that might prompt swap usage (don't quote me on that though, it just seems to me to be the case), if you copy many files from one place to the other the kernel will use all the ram available to try to cache them, if you copy many GB then all the ram will get filled (and maybe other things will get evicted to swap).
It's not a bug, free ram is there to be used, things that have been used/needed recently get to stay in the ram, other things can go to the swap, if you can cache a file that has been recently used and need to use it again shortly after then it's much faster if it is in the ram instead of having to read it again from the hard disk. The logic behind it is good, it's just that some corner cases may make behave badly. -
I have two iphones, different telcos, i am using the same apple id for both - how can i use the 10GB icloud free memory of my new iphone 5?
Thank you KiltedTim!
YES, that is the free 5GB icloud memory for each apple ID. Can I not add the free 5Gb of my second Iphone to my original apple ID (5GB also) as I want to use one Apple ID name on both 2 Iphones? Is it necessary to have a different apple ID for the second Iphone to avail the free 5GB it carries with it? -
I have copied videos onto an external hard drive. to free memory on my macbook. When I try to delete these I am woarned that I will not be able to use this video in existing projects
How do I point iMovie to events in my external hard drive so I can play projects which use them?
MacBook, iMovie 9.0.4Hi
You can do this - by not doing it the way You describe as it will not work.
a. the external hard disk - MUST BE - Mac OS extended (hfs) formatted -
UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - will work for most things - BUT NOT FOR VIDEO (iMovie, iDVD or FinalCut doesn't matter)
b. Do not alter or move any folder named
• iMovie Event's - or -
• iMovie Project's
on DeskTop/Finder - at all
All moving's of Events and Projects must be done within the iMovie Application - then connections will not break.
(move them back and see if iMovie remembers them - then do move as described above)

HP Laserjet p1102w - after firmware upgrade / Smart Install update - down to 1MB free memory
Hello,
I have a Laserjet p1102w running off a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. Just bought the printer this month.
After updating the firmware to 20120814 version and updating the SmartInstall update utility for the 20120814 version as well, I am now down to 1 MB free memory (out of 8MB originally). [Another LJ p1102w updated prior to these updates has 3MB free memory.]
Because I have 1MB free memory, the printer is almost a brick. It can print simple text based pages - however, printing any page with a graphic or a PDF file will cause the printer to take forever to receive data - essentially preventing printing a page on my new printer (while printing the same page instantaneously on my older nonupdated p1102w).
Is there any way to fix this problem, given there is no memory upgrade option? Otherwise, this printer is a brick.
Thank you in advance for a reply - especially from HP.Hi cyskim,
Did you tried turning the printer off and on after updating the firmware? This should clear its memory, including any memory may affected during the firmware upgrade proccess .
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

can i use a free memory ?
will this affect the contents of the internal table?
should i use this command at the end of ecah loop?Hi ,
I don't think Free Memory will help you in preventing the run-time dump. But i guess strucuturing your program in a better way will certainly will.
Remove the following statement from within the loop.
<b>select * from knvh into
corresponding fields of table icustomer
where hkunnr = wa_datafile-kunnr
and hvkorg = wa_datafile-old_vkorg
and hvtweg = wa_datafile-old_vtweg
and hspart = wa_datafile-old_spart.</b>
You can select all data from KNVH table based on the entries in your internal table idatafile using for all entries instead of using a loop-endloop construct.
This would help you to reduce the no: of loops from 3 to 2.
Get the field kunnr into the structure of internal table icustomer so that you can select using the above statment & use it in your loop.

Chetan.

I just deployed several ISR 4351 routers using either IOS 154-3.S1 or 154-3.S2. Client SNMP server triggers alert for the router's free memory as show below (832) only. I am not sure if this is a problem or not because normally the router's free memory should be much higher that that.
I have rebooted the routers and also update IOS but the amount of free memory remains.
Can Cisco or anyone here tell me about this? Thanks

N97 Fluctation in free memory on C
Hi,
I’ve noticed that free memory in C:\ fluctuate for no apparent reason.
Generally my C:\ is hanging around 42.2 mb of free memory but I’ve noticed a quite a number of times it is fluctuating around 42.1, 42.0mb and even at times 41.9 mb.
Note: I can confirm that I, for sure, clear all privacy data (hence I don’t think web browsing has left any residue) prior to checking memory on C:\ and haven’t added even a single byte of additional info via any app myself.
When this happens I generally check the C:\ memory consumption by various apps via the FileManager and have noticed that while memory consumed by all apps remains constant, memory consumption by the Contacts app (built in) have gone up. I do not have hundreds of contacts in my phone hence when my C:\ shows 42.1 Mb Contacts app seem to have consumed around 50-55 kb of memory, which I have no problem with.
But when C:\ memory falls to say 42.1 or 42.0 or so FileManager shows about 70-75Kb of memory consumption against Contacts app. While this minor increase in memory consumption by Contacts doesn’t justify the drop in free memory on C:\, I continue to wonder what shifts Contacts apps’ memory consumption from 50-55kb to 70-75 kb. I haven’t added any contacts, haven’t edited them with additional info or even associated picks with them newly.
If I reboot couple of times, SOME TIMES, the free memory on C:\ resets to its usual figure – 42.2MB and the FileManager shows about 50-55kb against the Contacts app.
Any ideas?I Wonder if it could be something like the call/message logs.
Every time you Call someone or send them a text, it might be tag that info onto the contacts database.
Try erasing your Logs and see if that increases the memory

Difference between Free Memory ID and Free Memory ID: in Performance ?
HI
I have to free say around 20 memory IDs.
Is it wise use
FREE MEMORY ID 1.
FREE MEMORY ID 2.
FREE MEMORY ID N.
or
FREE MEMORY ID: 1, 2, .... N.
Please dont mention about readability.
Please say about performance only. Will the later increase Performance or former ?
thanks,
PadmaYou can measure a run time of your program in SE30. So make program using first variant, run it from SE30 and see results. Than make the same for second variant and you will see difference. It is the same as using GET RUNTIME FIELD statement to measure a run time. But I think you do not have to worry about performance in case of FREE MEMORY, it is relative "cheap" statement. And both variants should take approximately the same time, because they are doing exactly the same, just syntax is different. The second one is just a way how to write the first one into one line. But it will also do 20 times the statement FREE MEMORY.

In OSX Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory
In OS X Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory. My daughters 2Gb MacBook Pro is very slow, it probably needs more memory but there is almost 1Gb of 'inactive' memory but no 'free' memory when an application is opened.
ThanksFree RAM is the one that has not been used by any application since you started up your Mac, and inactive RAM is the one that was used by an application and it is not in use anymore.
1 GB of inactive RAM is a lot, and it may be the cause of the slowness. There are a lot of apps that allows you to turn inactive into free RAM. I use FreeMemory, but have a look at the Mac App Store.
If you are a developer, you can do that with a command you can type into Terminal:
sudo purge -

How to reset free memory to the highest
I sometimes restart Tiger to reset the "Free" memory (RAM) higher.
Is there a way to reset this without restarting?
I have 768 MB DDR SDRAM 1/4 of which is used once restarted. After a while of use, it never gets back to a 1/4. With no user apps open it can be as high as half used (My human memory seems to think it is near 1/2). So I restart to claim back the 1/4. Is there another way to clean out the processes that are using up resources?
ALSO
If I use widgets, they not only take up memory, but seem to use CPU resources as do other applications. I clean all this by restarting. I can quit all widgets to clean that out without a restart, but clearly other things claim resources. If I burn a movie DVD and another process calls to the computer, there can be for an instant a surge on available resources. I do not mean something I activate during the burn, I mean hands off but some process which is less likely if I am burning just after a restart vs after much computer use. I am assuming it delays the feed to the recording DVD which given the burning process, clocks steady and at one speed, different than the CPU and computer resources which can compensate clocking during a process. So a restart seems to minimize bad burns. It sure seems I get no bad burns if I burn after a restart. That most occurred with burns on computer time many hours and other usage past the restart.
Is there a way to reset all or close at least the most aggressive activity, to basic without a restart? I realize there are many things that build-up though I know not all. RAM, Cache, monitoring activity, -=-any know a list of all the types of activity called to play after a good bit of computer use, different than a fresh restart?10.4 is even better with on the fly exchange, virtual memory is the same. Only the "specialty" apps are accessing any type of memory management/control and they are developed at the kernel level. You'll know which one's fall into this category as they put a very big strain on your wallet. Most seem to be working fine. A 3D CAD modeling program I am familiar with is absolutely incredible yet on the same machine running Apple's own universal apps choking and sputtering. It is not Universal but Intel native and even the previous and current PPC release run great under Rosetta, it also requires a USB security device just to open the application.
Restarting is working but it shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. The reason why it is is that apps and HW are not releasing resources properly i.e other apps, files, HD's, ports, CPU's, GPU's, keyboards, track-pads etc (even after they quit) this type of resource sharing is a new thing for them. The restart is simply releasing the resources from everything. Well almost everything, FW devices as well as partitioned internal HD's seem to misbehave, slowing things down or hanging, during startup and shutting down. A common way people are finding to force their computers to see certain USB and FW devices is to plug them in prior to startup and/or launching of any apps that may want to use such devices. However, this is not a reliable fix for devices that want to launch, control or be controlled by apps. i.e. video cameras, Maxtor OneTouch HD's etc. An all new system architecture in 10.4. I believe the majority of issue with HW and SW and the incredible number of kernel panics people are experiencing across HW configurations (G4-Intel) is that there is and error in the I/O kit at the kernel level.
One thing I see that is needed to tame this beast for USB and FW devices to work properly is a System Pref such as CD's and DVD's. When you connect a FW camera: When you connect a FW Video Device: When you connect a FW MIDI Device: When You Connect a FW HD: etc. with the same exact answers like Ask what to do, Open App, Ignore, Open finder, Run script etc. A system pref like this I believe would even help smoke out the popping kernel in a heartbeat.
People should not be looking for lists of supported equipment rather a very small list of "unsupported" devices. AFAICT any device or external piece of equipment that conforms to industry standards should work regardless if the manufacturer developed "drivers" for it or not.
I have waited for an OS like this from Apple for about 10 years. No longer had the need for it 2 or so years ago and stopped having to know what's going on. Had to get back into it in March 06 as installation of 10.4 on a G4 brought it to it's knees w/ HW frying all over the place apps not working correctly, kernel panics galore. Updated to MBP and problems are worse.
Another thing I'd like to mention is that it appears that my MBP 2.16, has already become a LEGACY PRODUCT (obsolete). G5 64 bit, ICD 32(-!?), ICD2 64 bit.
If their is anyone out there that can confirm this I would appreciate it. My .Mac account expires in a few hours so I will not be able to reply here, email or chat but will respond to a board you direct me to that allows anonymous/guest posts.
I am very curious about what a newer MacBook and a G5 computer says in the System Preferences>Processors. Mainly interested in MacBooks with ICD2 and G5's but am also curious about supported late model PB G4's w Core Image support and 64+ MB VRAM.

What is the processor? i.e Intel Pentium M Processor
Core Freq:
Bus Freq:
L1 Cache:
L2 Cache:
Processors:(max number)
A lot of the kernel panics being posted are all referring to HW devices primarily CPU's and GPU's and other very basic internal HW. It seems the cross architecture is getting garbled in this I/O kit. Errors in the kernel aren't usually that easy to find but I think if enough people express their concerns this one may find a quick resolution as it seems to occur close to the exchange.
Thanks

How to get the size of free memory in unix?
I have one oracle database running in unix, and I want to tune the memory used.
additional, I want to create another database in this server.
I don't know how many memory left in it.
Could you tell which unix commands can be used to find out the size of free memory?
Thanks%vmstat 3

one interesting observation about vmstat I found out is (mostly on Solaris)
the first line of information always off chart, so I usually do a few interval to get constant result.
if you use linux
just
cat /proc/meminfo

I have the flashing question mark, but when I press option/alt, I'm only prompted to start the internet recovery. Afterwards the Mac OS X Utilities pops up, but there's no start up disc when I try to reinstall Mac OS x or anything.
