Hi,
I'm looking for information regarding thrashing.
I know what thrashing is and I know how to find out whether a system is trashing or not. What I need is some statement or procedure to calculate thrashing in advance.
In other words:
Provided the mere number of running processes isn't a problem (i.e. is not high) then how much memory might these processes consume until the system starts to thrash.
I guess there only will be a rough "rule of thumb" for that but maybe there are admins who experienced thrashing and do remember the circumstances.
We're running an application server whose resident memory part is constantly growing and I'm asked to give a tip how long the system will be still working.
Don't ask me whether this is correct IT-Management.
We're running Solaris 8
Any idea is well appreciated.
