If you need a certain amount of memory for processing, try to
allocate that amount. The allocation will succeed if the amount
you request is available, it will fail if it's not. Usually it
will not fail. Your allocation may cause swapping (which can be
measured), that's what vitual memory management is for.

Why do you care? The amount of free RAM varies from millisecond to
millisecond, so any info you can gain will be history before long
anyway.

Just write your app to ask for as much memory as it needs, and deal
with memoryallocation errors as they occur.

## How much memory is being used
#echo "`prtconf | grep 'Memory size' | awk '{print $3}'` - (`vmstat 1
2 | tail -1 | awk '{print $5}'` /1024)" | bc

## Workout total server memory
# prtconf | grep 'Memory size' | awk '{print $3}'
