how can see the memory usage for one process in Windows/Solaris?

a.exe is one programming writen with c/c++ language.
a.exe will be called multi-times by another programming.

Now I want to check how much memory is used by a.exe
or whether some memory leak happens . Is there any API
interface availabe or tools for this purpose on both
windows and Unix?

Sure, but this has nothing to do with C++.

You need to google for a memory profiler.

Not in standard C++.

And system-specific APIs are off-topic in this group (read the
welcome-message, posted monthly here, and the FAQ).

This question is off topic for comp.lang.c++.

I don't know much about windows, but Solaris has a a number of tools.
Firstly, "pmap" gives you a nice breakdown of the process' memory usage.
If you're on x86 you can probably compile Valgrind for solaris: that's
pretty much the golden standard. If you're on Sparc then I suggest the
open source Dmalloc library. Electric fence is an oldie but a goodie,
and it's had leak detection bolted on.

Would a Python process consume more memory on a PC with lots of memory? For example, say I have the same Python script running on two WinXP computers that both have Python 2.4.0. One computer has 256 MB of Ram while the other has 2 GB of Ram. On the machine with less Ram, the process takes about 1 MB of Ram. On the machine with more Ram, it uses 9 MB of Ram. Is this normal and expected behavior?

We have a VERY simple .NET C# Form Application, that has about a 23MB Memory Footprint. It starts a window runs a process and does a regular expression. I have done a GC.Collect to make sure that, no memory is lying around. GC reports only 84k of allocations. Starting 5-10 of this apps is going to start taking a considerable amount of memory. Is there a way to reduce this? Tom

Hi expert, I installed DB2 v8.2 server on Solaris 9 box. When I connect to DB2 using control centre or other applications(except command line), around 12 db2sysc processes pop up and each one consumes more than 2G memory(total 30G memory). The server only has 8G physical memory, so DB2 costs too many memory resources. I tried to reduce the appgroup_mem_sz and app_ctl_heap_sz, but it didn't work. What else can I do?
