show processes 
memory rp1/
rep2 output 
Field
Description
Max Maximum dynamic memory allocated
Current Current dynamic memory in use
The output for show process memory displays the memory usage statistics running on 
the CP part (sysd) of the system. The sysd is an aggregate task that handles all the tasks 
running on the C-Series’ and E-Series' CP.
In FTOS Release 7.4.1.0 and higher, the total counter size (for all three CPUs) in show 
memory
 and show processes memory differs based on which FTOS processes are 
counted.
• In the show memory (C-Series and E-Series) output, the memory size is 
equal to the size of the application processes.
• In the show processes memory (C-Series and E-Series) output, the 
memory size is equal to the size of the application processes plus the size of the 
system processes.
