Usage Guidelines
The show
processes
memory command and the show
processes
memory
sorted command displays a summary of total, used, and free memory, followed by a list of processes and their memory impact.
If the standard show
processes
memory
process-id
command is used, processes are sorted by their PID. If the show
processes
memory
sorted command is used, the default sorting is by the Holding value.
Output Prior to Releases 12.3(7)T, 12.2(22)S, and 12.0(28)S
The first line (header line) of the show
processes
memory [sorted ] command listed Total memory, Used memory, and Free memory values.
Output in Releases 12.3(7)T, 12.3(8)T, and 12.2(22)S Through 12.2(27)S2, 12.0(28)S, and 12.0(29)S
In Releases 12.3(7)T, 12.2(22)S, and 12.0(28)S, the Memory Thresholding feature was introduced. This feature affected the
header line and the Holding column of the show
processes
memory command as described in this section.
The value for Total in the show
processes
memory command and the values listed in the Holding column showed the total (cumulative) value for the processor memory pools and the alternate
memory pool* (typically, the I/O memory pool). However, the show
processes
memory
sorted version of this command, and other commands, such as the show
memory
summary command, did not include the alternate memory pool in the totals; that is, these commands showed the total value for the
Processor memory pool only. This caused an observed mismatch of memory totals between commands.
If you are using these releases, use the output of the show
memory
summary command to determine the individual amounts of Total and Free memory for the Processor memory pool and the I/O memory pool.
Output in Releases 12.3(11)T, 12.2(28)S, 12.0(30)S, and Later Releases
Beginning in Releases 12.3(11)T, 12.2(28)S, and 12.0(30)S, the summary information (first output lines) for the show
processes
memory command is separated by memory pool. For example, there are now individual lines for Total Process Memory, Total I/O Memory,
and Total PCI Memory. In these releases or later releases, your Total Process Memory should match the total process memory
shown for other commands, such as the show
memory
summary command.
About Alternate Memory Pools
An “alternate memory pool” is a memory pool that can be used as an alternative to allocate memory when the target (main)
memory pool has been filled. For example, many platforms have a memory type called “Fast” that is limited to a small size
(because the memory media used for Fast memory is expensive). You can prevent memory allocations from failing once the available
Fast memory has been used up, by configuring the normal Processor memory as an alternative memory pool for the Fast memory
pool.
Cisco IOS XE Software and Software Modularity
Use the show
processes
memory command without any arguments and keywords to display the system memory followed by a one-line summary of memory information
about each modular Cisco IOS process. Use the detailed keyword with this command to display detailed memory information about all processes. Other arguments and keywords are used
to display Cisco IOS Software Modularity process memory information for a specified process name or process ID.
On Cisco IOS XE images only, the detailed keyword will also show Cisco IOS task memory details.
Examples
The following is sample output from the show
processes
memory command:

Processor memory holding = 8428 bytes
pc = 0x60790654, size = 6044, count = 1

I/O memory holding = 0 bytes
Examples
The following example shows the output of the show
processes
memory command before the changes to the summary information were made. Note that the Total in the show
processes
summary command output indicates total memory for all memory pools; in this example, the show
processes
memory total of 35423840 can be obtained by adding the Processor and I/O totals shown in the output of the show
memory
summary command. Note also that the show
processes
memory
sorted command lists the Total Processor Memory (matches the show
memory
summary Processor Total), but the show
processes
memory command (without the sorted keyword) lists the total for all memory pools (Processor plus I/O memory).

Examples
In a Cisco IOS Software Modularity image IOS, each process maintains its own heap memory, which is taken from the system
memory in blocks. The process reuses this memory as required. If all the memory that was requested in a block is no longer
in use, then the process can return the memory block to the system.
The following is sample output from the show
processes

The following example shows the output of the show

detailed command wherein the process (ios-base) holds sufficient memory to process a request of the Cisco IOS tasks without having
to request more memory from the system. So although the amount of memory of the Cisco IOS tasks increased, the ios-base process
does not consume more system memory.
