All I really need is a programme that let’s me utilize my memory to the extent I decide (e.g. 10%, 50%, 100% of memory) and does that for real, and not like the “lookbusy” programme I am currently using.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>As I said, lookbusy in fact does its work, it utilizes the VM, and the utilization keeps on running, only the used memory shrinks down over time. But still, after killing the process the memory gets freed totally, so a kill of the process really does the job (to answer your question).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I wouldn’t even consider deactivating KSM, or using ballooning if that programme would work as expected. Until now, the measurements of the power consumption were processed pretty good. The only thing is that those measurements always went for only a minute, which is the amount of time, BEFORE the reduction of the used memory begins.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>So, do you maybe know a programme, or could tell me what to do in my case? This is becoming frustrating, as I’m almost finished with my thesis and need only a couple more measurements!!!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Thanks in advance, to all of you!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Regards, Adnan<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
