Regarding AIX Memory Utilization usage calculation

Hello,

Am working on small program that used to calculate the memory usage of AIX servers. Am using svmon -G command to get the memory usage. For example, consider the following output.

Code:
$ svmon -G
               size       inuse        free         pin     virtual   mmode
memory      1957888      670177     1287711      411476      512709     Ded
pg space     131072        2929

               work        pers        clnt       other
pin          350964           0           0       60512
in use       512709           0      157468

PageSize   PoolSize       inuse        pgsp         pin     virtual
s    4 KB         -      269713        2929       85684      112245
m   64 KB         -       25029           0       20362       25029
$

Am using "in use" value at the 6-th line number as memory usage. It gives 26 % as a memory usage. Also am using /bin/ps -eo comm,pmem,args to get the all the process memory usage to confirm with previous calculation.But value calculated by both methods does not match.

Please advise.

Mod Comment edit by bakunin: my first advice is to use CODE-tags. Its the button misleadingly labeled "CODE" (in case you can't find it).

NAME
gpioctl -- GPIO control utility SYNOPSIS
gpioctl -l [-f ctldev] [-v] gpioctl -t [-f ctldev] pin gpioctl -c [-f ctldev] pin flag [flag ...] gpioctl [-f ctldev] pin [0|1] DESCRIPTION
The gpioctl utility could be used to manage GPIO pins from userland and list available pins. The options are as follows: -c pin flag [flag ...] Configure pin by setting provided flags. The following flags are currently defined: IN Input pin OUT Output pin OD Open drain pin PP Push pull pin TS Tristate pin PU Pull-up pin PD Pull-down pin II Inverted input pin IO Inverted output pin -f ctldev GPIO controller device to use If not specified, defaults to /dev/gpioc0 -l list available pins -t pin toggle value of provided pin number -v be verbose: for each listed pin print current configuration EXAMPLES
o List pins available on GPIO controller defined by device /dev/gpioc0 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc0 -l o Set the value of pin 12 to 1 gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc0 12 1 o Configure pin 12 to be input pin gpioctl -f /dev/gpioc0 -c 12 IN SEE ALSO
