Shared memory usage

hi group,
I have a scenario that i have to use shared memory concept in routines of BI...here i have to write a abap code and check on a file. and i want to take that file from the shared memory concept. and then check. i also dont want to fetch th data from table but want to fetch this data also from some file using shared memory... i am totally new to shared memory concept and objects used there...can anyone guide me the step by step procedure for this...also if some help file available then that will be a great help...
thanks in advance..

A program which may help you is "ipcs". Specifically, "ipcs -am" run as root
will give you information on all of the shared memory segments in use. The
size of the segment is part of the data. This should give you a picture of
what is going on in the system.

Shared memory usage of Producer Consumer Problem

Hai,
I am able to write the Producer-Consumer problem as a interthread communication. But I don't know how to write it using shared memory. (i.e. I wish to start Producer and consumer as a different process). Please help me, sorry for the Temp file idea.
Thanks
MOHAN

I have read that in the new brightly JDK1.4 you would be able to use shared memory, but I have to confess that I'm not sure about if I'm mixing different informations (lots of stuff read, u know?). Try reviewing the JDK1.4 SE new features.
Also, I should reconsider using "traditional" ways like RMI, Sockets, and things like those.
Regards.

Shared memory: apache memory usage in solaris 10

Hi people, I have setup a project for the apache userID and set the new equivalent of shmmax for the user via projadd. In apache I crank up StartServers to 100 but the RAM is soon exhausted - apache appears not to use shared memory under solaris 10. Under the same version of apache in solaris 9 I can fire up 100 apache startservers with little RAM usage. Any ideas what can cause this / what else I need to do? Thanks!

a) How or why does solaris choose to share memory
between processes
from the same program invoked multiple times
if that program has not
been specifically coded to use shared memory?Take a look at 'pmap -x' output for a process.
Basically it depend on where the memory comes from. If it's a page loaded from disk (executable, shared library) then the page begins life shared among all programs using the same page. So a small program with lots of shared libraries mapped may have a large memory footprint but have most of it shared.
If the page is written to, then a new copy is created that is no longer shared. If the program requests memory (malloc()), then the heap is grown and it gathers more private (non-shared) page mappings.
Simply: if we run pmap / ipcs we can see a
shared memory reference
for our oracle database and ldap server. There
is no entry for apache.
But the total memory usage is far far less than
all the apache procs'
individual memory totted up (all 100 of them, in
prstat.) So there is
some hidden sharing going on somewhere that
solaris(2.9) is doing,
but not showing in pmap or ipcs. (virtually
no swap is being used.)pmap -x should be showing you exactly which pages are shared and which are not.
b) Under solaris 10, each apache process takes up
precisely the
memory reported in prstat - add up the 100
apache memory details
and you get the total RAM in use. crank up the
number of procs any
more and you get out of memory errors so it
looks like prstat is
pretty good here. The question is - why on
solaris10 is apache not
'shared' but it is on solaris 9? We set up
all the usual project details
for this user, (jn /etc/projects) but I'm
guessing now that these project
tweaks where you explicitly set the shared
memory for a user only take
effect for programs explicitly coded to use
shared memory , e.g. the
oracle database, which correctly shows up a
shared memory reference
in ipcs .
We can fire up thousands of apaches on the 2.9
system without
running out of memory - both machines have the
same ram !
But the binary versions of apache are exactly
the same, and
the config directives are identical.
please tell me that there is something really
simple we have missed!On Solaris 10, do all the pages for one of the apache processes appear private? That would be really, really unusual.

Shared memory (System V-style) - High usage of phys memory and page outs

Hi!
I get a much higher usage of physical memory when I use shared memory than I would expect. Please, I would really need someone to confirm my conclusions, so that I can revise my ignorance in this subject.
In my experiments I create a shared memory segment of 200 MB and I have 7 processes attaching to it. I have a ws of 1 GB.
I expect to see what I see when I attach to the shared memory segment in terms of virtual size, i.e. SIZE in prstat. After attaching (mapping it) to the process all 7 processes are about ~203 MB each and this makes sense. RSS, in prstat, is about 3 MB for each process and this is ok to me too.
It is what I see when each of the 7 processes start to write a simple string like 'Hello!' in parallel to each page in their shared memory segment that I get surprised. I run out of memory on my ws after a while and the system starts to wildly page out physical memory to disk so that the next 'Hello!' can be written to the next page in the shared memory segment. It seems that each page written to in the shared memory chunk is mapped into each process private address space. This means that the shared memory is not physically shared, just virtually shared. Is this correct?
Can memory be physically shared, so that my 7 processes only use 200 MB? ISM? DISM?
I create a shared memory segment in a C-program with the following calls:
shmid = shmget(key, SHM_SIZE, 0644 | IPC_CREAT)
data = shmat(shmid, (void *)0, 0);Thanks in advance
/Sune

Your problem seemed reasonable. What were you doing wrong?

About OS X Memory Management and Usage
Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor
Memory Management in Mac OS X
Performance Guidelines- Memory Management in Mac OS X
A detailed look at memory usage in OS X
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.

High RAM memory usage compared to other systems

I'm suffering with memory usage problems, only in open 2 tabs of facebook(it's only for example, any 'heavy' page freeze also) in firefox*(for example also, but this occur in chromium also) freeze computer.
I've 1GB of memory, it isn't big but also isn't very little.
I'm using XFCE with compiz (yes, compiz, since use a very lightweight openbox-based session doesn't help, then compiz...) when system start (after login) system is consuming 130MB approximately of RAM.
after 1 hour if close all open apps and see memory usage again consume is something about 350MB, "only solution" is reboot.
all applications(htop,free -m,xfce's system monitor...) that I've tried to monitor memory usage show above scenario, except the 'ps_mem' script in AUR.
in the 'ps_mem' script the result is following (with opera browser open, less memory offensive browser but I really prefer firefox):

=================================
as you can see in 'ps_mem' memory usage isn't nothing absurdly it's ok.
another example, this problem stop me make certain things, for example is impossible browsing in web while programming in eclipse, this is very uncomfortable.
other thing, this not occur in Windows XP, I can open more than 10 tabs in firefox, and eclipse open, etc...
any needing information, tell-me!

hotvic, could you please change the title to something more descriptive? 'memory problems' sounds like you have problems e.g. remembering / recalling things, which is not an Arch issue ;P

Sudden high memory usage, can't find cause

I did a big update yesterday, and today I've started to notice very high memory usage. I wasn't keeping track before so I can't say how much it increased, but I've never had problems before, and the slowness and lack of responsiveness have been noticeable, though I haven't ruled out other possible causes for that. Here's the output of 'free -m':
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7971 7826 144 0 1 149
-/+ buffers/cache: 7674 296
Swap: 9215 458 8757
It wasn't as bad as that right after startup, though usage still seemed suspiciously high. What makes this whole thing a mystery to me is that none of my running processes seem to be using that much memory! Here's the output of 'top -b -n 1':

I wouldn't expect the '%MEM's to add up to exactly the real usage, but this isn't even close! So, what could be using up all of my memory? I have /tmp mounted to ram, but that's only a few megabytes. I really have no idea where to go from here.
The relevant portion of my pacman log is below, since I don't know how to get just a compact list of the updated packages. Most notably, the kernel was upgrades, from 3.9.9-1 to 3.10.3-1.

Okay, so it turns out that this was caused by the Catalyst bug described in this post. Reverting to the 13.6 version solved the problem. Lesson learned: if there's a ton of memory being used that isn't owned by a running process, start looking for bug reports involving drivers. Especially drivers known for being, well, pretty bad. Was there any method I could have used that would have told me that Catalyst was using all my ram, or is kernel-space memory usage pretty much a black box?

Free Disk Space vs Mac Memory Usage

Hi,
I'm wondering if you might be able to help me - I'm so confused with this issue.
I have a MacBook 2008 with an upgraded 320GB HDD, with currently 203GB free disk space.
My back up disk is 120GB - perfect for a time machine back up of 117 GB of data. However, the TM says theres not enough memory because the full size of the back is 150GB? How can this be?
For some reason, the free disk space figure is different to the memory usage figures in About My Mac?
Can anyone explain to me why this is?
My other half uses this computer and has only pictures and files on it, no music or movies? So how can she have utilised 117GB of data? This was previously a shared Mac, but I've deleted my user acc since upgrading and wanted to make this Mac entirely hers.
Any help regarding this will be truly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Tarmak

CarbonCopyClone. It is "donateware" ... pay if you want to. Others use SuperDuper! (both a free and a paid version). I prefer CCC, but do not let that stop you from paying for SuperDuper if others convince you as both are very competent.
It makes a bootable copy of your system partition, and used repeatedly will make "incremental" backups that take far less time than the original backup. I have a TimeMachine backup (I consider it "secondary") and a CCC backup whic I consider "primary" and will eventually save me when my system partition gets cranky and refuses to boot -- use the option key at startup to choose the external disk to boot from.
When you boot from the external drive, which will have CCC running in it, you can then "clone back" to the new internal drive.

OS X Yosemite Safari memory usage

Safari's memory usage under Yosemite continues to increase until system stalls due to paging. The memory gets to about 60G before the stall. Also, the process SafariDAVclient exhibits the same behavior. This started after I reinstalled Yosemite. Reinstalled again, no better.
Anyone have a solution?

Linux memory usage

Hey all,
I have a 1.6 GHz desktop running w/ 128mb of memory and a Core2Dou laptop w/ 1gb of memory. Both machines are running Archlinux and Fluxbox. At boot, both machine are using roughly the same amount of memory, around 26-30 mb but as soon as fluxbox is started the desktop is running around 40-50 mb while the laptop is sitting at 130-140 mb. Those numbers do not include buffer/cache in them. They both have similar configurations so I'm curious as to why is there such a drastic difference between the memory usage on the systems when Fluxbox is started?

What graphics card do you use on your laptop? Any integrated graphics with shared memory by chance? Then you have your answer.

Solaris 10 - Restrict memory usage

Bonjour,
I use Solaris 10 Release 6/06 on SPARC system.
I need to restrict the memory usage for users.
Unfortunately, for the moment, we can't increase the amount of RAM.
So, in a first time, I decided to use projects and max-shm-memory. But, this is only for shared memory segment, not real memory usage.
rcapd use SWAP instead of RAM ... it not solve my issue.
How can limit memory usage of an user ? It's possible of Solaris 10 (without zones) ?
Thx.
Guillaume

does ulimit help you? this applies to the shell rather than a user...

Is there any Vi for getting the CPU and Memory usage of the Local as well as Remote System

Is there any Vi for getting the CPU and Memory usage of the Local as well as Remote System

Find the attachment(LV8.5) for local machines.
You can use shared variables to monitor the remote machine's usage.

Shared Memory and Memory Paging - VDI 3.2

Hello
What metrics have been identified in the performance and optimisation of these new features for VDI 3.2 ?
We are looking for substantiated indicators with respect to builds for sites of various user-base sizes v's SunRays on desks.
Regards
Jeremy.

good Question!
Also I'm confused of how much memory is really used and what is shown where (top vs. Desktop provider Info in VDI Admin vs. what I see/assigned in the VDesktop)
sometimes balooning works like a charm and I can overcommit lots of memory running several desktops. Other times running one single Win7 Desktop (1GB RAM assigned) on a SF4140 /w 8G Ram installed eats up 75% of my memory.
Right now the Win7 VDesktop I'm using has
1024 MB assigned by the VDI-Manager with 50% memory sharing
The manager displays ~ 3,8 GB Used, as the Win7 VBox is the only one Running in an All-in-One configuration and takes roughly 2.2-2.5 GB w/o a running VM, I assume that 1.2 or 1.3 is accounting on the Win7 Wbox
in top the VBoxHeadless process shows up with 1891MB memory usage
Which one to trust? Somewhat hard to forecast.
could someone shed some light on this?
Regards,
zoltan

Display memory usage-help for parameters

hi everyone ,
i want to display the memory usage(shared memory+heap) while compiling the t code in foot path,
plz help me for this issue

Hey Arun,
RZ20 SAP CCMS Monitor Templates->Performance Overview->Memory Management
You can see all the information which you are looking for.
But to make it web enabled you need to call some BAPI through java and store it DB. If you have any Java programmer let me know I will send you the list of BAPI.
Use the DB data and draw a graph. Using that data you can study the performance over a period and start tuning your system.
Thanks & Regards
Vivek

[HELP ]unexpected low memory usage

Hi all,
Could someone help me out with unexpected low memory usage I am facing when I start the DB instance.
I am running Oracle 8.1.7.3.2 on Windows 2000 Adv Srv with
2GB of RAM and 3GB of swap area.
I only have 1 instance with memory related init parameters setted as below.
shared_pool_size = 293510451
large_pool_size = 104857600
java_pool_size = 20971520
db_block_buffers = 107289
sort_area_size = 1048576
avg of about 150~250session so I was expecting the oracle
to allocate about 1.5GB of RAM when the instance startsup
Now, when I startup the instance, EXPECTING the oracle to
allocate about 1.5GB of RAM for himself, and check the
memory allocation status from the "task manager", it
shows that 1.4GB of physical memory is AVAILABLE. In another words, the whole system is only using 600MB of
physical memory.
Could anyone tell why this is happening and the solution to solve this problem?
BTW, even if I give loads to oracle using the Mercury LoadRunner, the memory allocation status does not change much while oracle is barely processing each transactions.
Thanks, in advance

I work mostly with UNIX but found the following from Metalink document# 46001.1 Oracle Database and the Windows NT memory architecture, Technical Bulletin. I think this answers your question:
On starting up an Oracle instance all global memory pages are reserved and committed (Total Shared Global Area, Buffer Cache and Redo Buffers). Only a small number of these memory pages are touched on startup and are thus not in Oracle's working set, as more pages are touched they will be brought into memory. Oracle must contend equally with other processes and will have its working set trimmed if other processes are faulting at a greater rate.
It is unlikely that this trimming will be desirable, especially when the database has a varying workload (high and low usage periods). Two registry parameters exist to allow the administrator to manipulate the working set bounds of the Oracle process, these are :
- ORA_WORKINGSETMIN or ORA_%SID%_WORKINGSETMIN
: Minimum working set for the ORACLE.EXE process (units = MB)
- ORA_WORKINGSETMAX or ORA_%SID%_WORKINGSETMAX
: Maximum working set for the ORACLE.EXE process (units = MB)
These parameters apply to all releases from 7.3.x and should be added to the Long postings are being truncated to ~1 kB at this time.
