Would you mind indulging the audience (or me specifically) and outlining what you're doing that uses 30Gb+ of RAM? Is this one application with huge data sets, or many applications that must be run at the same time? Genuinely interested...
- adamnemecek 10y agoNot OP but this is mine right now and I'm not even doing anything that intensive. http://i.imgur.com/xYlR8Nw.png http://i.imgur.com/xYlR8Nw.png Programmers stopped caring about memory not too long ago and this is the result.
- mhw 10y agoWow. I thought Eclipse was memory hungry, and given the comments here I also thought Sublime Text was frugal with memory compared with Atom. For comparison, my development machine with a Docker environment and dev tools running: http://imgur.com/a/sic5M http://imgur.com/a/sic5M
- pwinnski 10y agoI keep seeing Google Chrome Helper over and over and over in these screenshots. And sure, none of them are the biggest single memory user, but... In my experience, quitting Chrome lowers the memory usage of kernel_task dramatically, so that Chrome is taking up even more memory that you'd think adding up all of the many Chrome-related processes. I fully believe the OP, simply because they're not running Chrome. And I fully believe each of the posters above me, too, and I'm pretty sure they're all running Chrome. I guess I'm suggesting that the difference is Chrome.
