Hello,

I would like to know how much physical memory consumned by each runing 
applications on Linux
The ps and top are showing different outputs, I could not find it out , what 
ammount of actual memory consumed by each runing process on my system

The scenario is :

The physcial memory installed on Linux system is 1024MB

Top command output :

top - 02:11:57 up 18:48,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Tasks: 126 total,   1 running, 125 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s):  0.0% us,  0.2% sy,  0.0% ni, 99.8% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si
Mem:   1026328k total,   810848k used,   215480k free,    47032k buffers
Swap:  2040244k total,        0k used,  2040244k free,   316708k cached

Free command output :

Free -mt
                        total       used       free     shared    buffers 
cached
Mem:                1002        791        210          0         45 
309
-/+ buffers/cache:              436        565
Swap:               1992          0         1992
Total:                 2994        791       2203

The free command is showing 436MB used and 565MB is free but the Top command 
is showing 810MB is used and 215MB is free
why cached is showing 309MB is it swap memory If I calculate it comes to 
436+309+45=791 how cache is distributed with each application
is cache and VIRT is same

could anyone tell me how do I find out exact physical memory occupied by 
each applications.

If go with ps command, is RSS is write value or Virtual Memory + RSS ( 
Resident set size) value

#ps -eo rss,pcpu,comm,user,pid,time |sort -rnk1|head -20
