HP-UX base kernel memory allocation on startup

Hello to all,
This may seem a stupid question, but I still can't find a satisfying answer.

I need to know how to estimate the amount of system memory allocated by the HP-UX kernel(11iv2 & 11iv3) at system startup assuming that I have all my kernel tunables at the default value and no applications or databases running on it.

In short, how many of my system memory is in use immediately after boot?

I know that system memory depends mostly on buffer/file caches, inode cache, page size and overheads.

For me it would be helpful to know that, for example, with a system with x cpu and y GB RAM the system memory in use after boot is around z% of the total RAM.

It would be also helpful if some doc exists about this particular argument.


Thank you very much and regards,

Dario

NAME
numastat - Print statistics about NUMA memory allocation SYNOPSIS
numastat DESCRIPTION
numastat displays NUMA allocations statistics from the kernel memory allocator. Each process has NUMA policies that specifies on which node pages are allocated. See set_mempolicy(2) or numactl(8) on details of the available policies. The numastat counters keep track on what nodes memory is finally allocated. The counters are separated for each node. Each count event is the allocation of a page of memory. numa_hit is the number of allocations where an allocation was intended for that node and succeeded there. numa_miss shows how often an allocation was intended for this node, but ended up on another node due to low memory. numa_foreign is the number of allocations that were intended for another node, but ended up on this node. Each numa_foreign event has a numa_miss on another node. interleave_hit is the number of interleave policy allocations that were intended for a specific node and succeeded there. local_node is incremented when a process running on the node allocated memory on the same node. other_node is incremented when a process running on another node allocated memory on that node. SEE ALSO
numactl(8) set_mempolicy(2) numa(3) NOTES
numastat output is only available on NUMA systems. numastat assumes the output terminal has a width of 80 characters and tries to format the output accordingly. EXAMPLES
watch -n1 numastat watch -n1 --differences=accumulative numastat FILES
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/numastat BUGS
The output formatting on machines with a large number of nodes could be improved. SuSE Labs Nov 2004 NUMACTL(8)
