Memory utlisation for application

hello

i have application running on windows 2008 sp2 server. application has 4 processes, 1 of main engine called engine1.exe *32

normally, during day if check resource monitor on server:

- 85% used physical memory
- 5 hard faults/sec

however, after reboot, notice is:

- 98% used physical memory

if @ engine1.exe, it's got 3000 hard faults/min

what don't understand there commit (kb), working set (kb) process.

what need know how memory (both ram , page) process using , how of page file use. counter in resource monitor should use?

secondly, 3000 hard faults/min much? what's acceptable level?

thanks help!

hi,

thank post.

a hard fault (also known page fault) occurs when page of referenced address no longer in physical memory , has been swapped out or available backing file on disk. not error. however, high number of hard faults may explain slow response time of application if must continually read data disk rather physical memory. more information, please refer guide: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771692(v=ws.10).aspx

regards,
