Summary : Report application memory usage in a meaningful way
URL : http://www.selenic.com/smem/
License : GPLv2+
Description : smem is a tool that can give numerous reports on memory usage on Linux
: systems. Unlike existing tools, smem can report proportional set size (PSS),
: which is a more meaningful representation of the amount of memory used by
: libraries and applications in a virtual memory system.
:
: Because large portions of physical memory are typically shared among
: multiple applications, the standard measure of memory usage known as
: resident set size (RSS) will significantly overestimate memory usage. PSS
: instead measures each application's "fair share" of each shared area to give
: a realistic measure.
