Just wondering
(1) is the memory percentage in top for a process is relative to memory or relative to memory+swap?
(2) if it is the former, how can I get the latter? Vice versa.
(3) To determine if it is proper to run another executable, should I look into memory only or memory+swap? Or in which cases for example shall I consider which?
(4) Roughly speaking, to what extent the memory (or memory+swap) is used that I should better wait instead of submitting another job (of course it is not very small)?
Thanks and regards!
Thanks! By the way, how to measure the usage of IO and therefore determine if I should add jobs with IO operations? – Tim – 2009-10-02T00:01:42.323
