How to get dynamic memory information from another running process?

[Jan van den Ende]

Davor,


it's a performance problem
we will do a improvement which will cause many new process to run on the system. regard to the physical memory i wanna confirm whether the change can be implemented.


For two reasons: Memory utilization AND number of IO's this is a VERY good time to study the INSTALL utility, and (if this a self-develloped application) the effects of shareable image sections!

The more of your code you can safely put in INSTALLed shareable sections, the more of the working set is Global Pages instead of Process Pages.
Shared global pages are only ONE time im memory, used by many processes.
And, BECAUSE they are already in memory, they need not be loaded again :=> No IO done.

Proost.

Have one on me.

Davor,

Some links for you to check out:

The following is an article on memory management

The following is a search of comp.os.vms for ppgcnt

Sorry, the second link does not work from the context
of the above posting...

Go to the following

and in the "search this group" box on the top right
enter ppgcnt
