go tool pprof -inuse_space much smaller than linux top shows





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}







-2















My program runs in background. I use linux top command, it shows 16g memory. But when I want to use go pprof -inuse_space to check the point, I gives only 200M. Where do the other memory go?

    "Memory usage" is a really complicated issue on modern systems. In short: all is fine, there is nothing to worry here. These are two different numbers and they are not related but all is fine.

  • Which column in top? As Volker noted memory usage is complicated, as evidenced by the three columns of memory usage per process that top shows you. I'm guessing you looked at VIRT (which is huge for pretty much every process ever) and panicked. Look at RES, which is a more accurate depiction of process memory usage.

  • New data is VIRT 42g RES 0.024t。When I use go tool pprof -inuse_space localhost:2000/debug/pprof/heap,it shows it only use 156.75MB memory. I just don't know where the memory sits.

Generally, the memory used in os(shown by top VIRT) is larger than pprof. One reason is gc will happen when heap size > ($GOGC% + 1) * (reachable nodes size): https://blog.golang.org/go15gc. By default, $GOGC is 100, that means the memory size will be twice of the heap size shown by pprof. But you seem not to be in this case.
