Re: I seee many process in sleep mode what does it mean
You have an awful lot of processes with a large amount of memory in sleep mode.
Sleep mode means they are not active.
You probably have a java application and if the users are all idle, the processes are put to sleep by the OS because no work is being demanded.
So it could be quite innocent.
I think you might want to ask the application developers or provider why there is a need for so much memory to be in these processes.

Re: I seee many process in sleep mode what does it mean
As noted, a sleeping process is one that is waiting on an event.
In fact, you may want to impose a periodic sleep in simple loops to give other processes a chance to gain the processor.
while true do
[ -f myfile_available ] && break
sleep 1
done
...In the above loop, it would be "unkind" to others _not_ to sleep(). If you removed the sleep() you have written what is sometimes called a "buzz-loop".

Re: I seee many process in sleep mode what does it mean
a process waiting for CPU is READY, waiting for the scheduler to RUN it.
So your process is waiting for IO like read()/select()/poll()/write() ... over sockets, diskIO, ttys
memory pagin/pageout like on memory map files
or timeout, like in a sleep(), sigwait(),
or synchronisations like mutexes ops, messagequeue operations, semaphores,
to understand on what they are waiting you can for instance use tusc.
