By default Win7 seems to have private working set selected (which would be what each additional copy requires). But there’s also a “Working Set” option which should be private + shared bytes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the code which isn’t eval’d/exec’d/compile’d) to be shared between processes. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<br>
We're trying to figure out the usage of overall system memory by our IronPython/WPF app. I've been looking at various "memory profilers", but they seem to be concerned with memory leaks within the app itself, etc.<br>
<br>
What we'd like to be able to find out is something like this:<br>
<br>
1) How much memory does my app use? This is pretty straightforward, check task manager.<br>
<br>
2) How much memory does a second (third, fourth...) copy of the app use? Task manager does not appear to show this correctly.<br>
<br>
It seems as if .NET should be shared among different instances of the application, so that if the first instance of an app uses up 600M of system memory (say, 400M of .NET and 200M of application code) then a second, third... instance of the app should only
add each an incremental 200M to the total system memory usage. Task manager appears to show each instance as independently using 600M, inflating the apparent memory used.<br>
<br>
Anyone know how to properly determine the system load for multiple instances of a .NET app? Again, most of the "memory profilers" don't really appear to address this.<br>
Thanks,<br>
Ken<o:p></o:p></p>
