First, you need to clarify what you want to know: every process uses some amount of memory, of which some might be located in (real) memory and some might be located in the swap (virtual memory). Do you want to know the "biggest" process in terms of real memory consumption (only the parts in real memory count), in terms of virtual memory consumption (somewhat misleading, the totals of real memory and swapped-out-memory count) or swap allocation (only the swapped amount counts)?
For instance: a process holds 3GB of memory, of which 1GB is swapped out. Would you like to get "1" (the swapped amount), "2" (the real mem amount) or "3" (the total amount) reported for it?
I hope this helps.

In my understanding some process should be consuming atleast 15-16 G but I am not able to find them.

EMPTY-PAGE(1) ExactImage Manual EMPTY-PAGE(1)
NAME
empty-page - empty page detector of the ExactImage toolkit
SYNOPSIS
empty-page [option...] {-i | --input} input-file
empty-page {-h | --help}
DESCRIPTION
ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike many other library frameworks it allows operation in several color spaces and bit
depths natively, resulting in low memory and computational requirements.
empty-page counts dark pixels of a black and white image and decides with a threshold whether the page is most probably empty, and thus can
be removed from the image processing stream.
OPTIONS
-i file, --input file
Read image from the specified file.
-m n, --margin n
Set width of border margin to skip. For speed reasons, the margin has to be a multiple of 8. The default is 16.
-p x, --percentage x
Set fraction of permissible dark pixels. The default is 0.05 (5%).
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
EXAMPLES
$ empty-page -i test.tif
The image has 75461 dark pixels from a total of 1060992 (7.11231%).
non-empty
EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 if the image is mostly white, 1 otherwise.
