ASP.NET Server Memory usage

Posted By: Posted Date: October 24, 2010 Points: 0 Category :ASP.Net

Hello.

My name is Johnathan and I work as an asp.net web devoloper.

My company is starting to transfer from classic asp to asp.net 4.0 in our websites. During the transition I have encountred a few issues:

It seems that asp.net uses a lot more memory then classic asp on the server that hosts the websites. Is that true, and if so how can I minimize the memory usage?
Does asp.net 4 transitiond out of the beta phase? I have a website that is built in the asp.net 4.0 technology that is running smooth on the localhost, but on the server sometimes it doesn't connect to the database. Does this mean it is the host provider's fault or is it something in the code? (here is the website: http://www.sospets2.co.cc/)

Thanks alot and have a nice day!

SQL Server 2008 Memory Usage

We are using SQL Server 2008 x64 SP1 CU8 EE, and we have 32 GB of RAM on the server. We currently have the instance restricted to 14 GB of RAM, the "Lock Pages in Memory" security setting on the service account, and AWE enabled in SQL Server. This server is part of a 3 node active/active/passive cluster. My question is:

How do I know how much memory sql server is actually using, or if the server is under memory pressure?

sql server high memory usage

Hello Guys

just wondering how do you handle similar situation, we had a call from angry client saying they are unable to do anything and things take too long to complete. when i logged in i noticed that sql server taking all memory (6GB) for some reason. interestingly CPU usage is normal.

I know i can run profiler to see what queries are taking such huge memory before it happens but what if it already happened and you want to see whats currently eating all that memory ? thanks for the advise.

sql server is 2008 and our desktop app is C# 2008.

Configuring AWE and memory usage in SQL Server 2005

Dear Sirs,
I installed SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition (with SP3) on a server running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Editon SP2 with 8GB RAM and with "Physical Address Extension".
I want the SQL Server 2005 makes use of memory that is in excess of 4 GB and will perform the following steps to accomplish this:

1) I'll add the SQL service account to the policy "lock his pages in memory"

2) I'll include the /PAE switch in Boot.ini

3) I'll change the "awe enabled" with the following commands:

sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'awe enabled', 1
RECONFIGURE
GO

4) I'll change "min server memory" and "max server memory" with the following commands:

sp_configure 'min server memory', 1024
RECONFIGURE
GO
sp_configure 'max server memory', 8192
RECONFIGURE

SQL Server 2008 - High Memory Usage

Hi ,

We are facing problem with the high memory usage with SQL Server 2008. 64 bit , standard edition sp2 . 8 GB RAM , 8 processors .

Memory usage keep on growing ..sometimes it will reach to 7.5 GB also .... and its not coming down ..untill we restart the service...

These are the details of DBCC MEMORYSTATUS :: Please suggest how to overcome this problem

SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Memory Usage issues and not giving memory back

Okay so i have a physical server i am trying to replace with a virtual server. Its doing a large load process every night, about 190GB on one disk.

The VM is:

On vSphere 4.1 ESXi

O/S is Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise

SQL version is SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.

4 vCpus

Now 20GB of memory

Disks assigned to this virtual are all seperate LUNs except for the O/S which is on a shared LUN which is not busy. So 1 LUN/Datastore per 'disk drive on this SQL virtual. Data/Log/TempDB/Backup are on their own LUNs.

All the recommended exclusions are in place for McAfee on a SQL Server.

ESXi 4.1 Enterprise host is not overcommitted. Has 4 x 6core 2.6Ghz AMD processors. BL685c G6 and 128GB of memory. Almost nothing else is running at the time i am testing this load and host is not overcommited or stressed or anywhere near it.

SQLServer process shows 127,236K Working Set and 130,040K Peak working set and memory Private working set 88,828k and Commit Size of 302,792k.

It seems when i check the memory usage in task manager it doesn't show much. In Windows 2003 X64 in would show the GB being used, like 8GB right in task manager. But i don't see that in Windows 2008 R2 task manager. I downloaded SysInternals and it shows the memory on the Windows 2008 r2 box as 15Gb of AWE memory. How can this be? The case is th

in one of our SiteCollections we cannot start den Usage Report. It says "Server Out of Memory". We have lot of SiteCollections and it happens only in this one. Fyi: We have 16GB RAM.

Any Ideas? Thanks alot..

CLR Inside Out: Memory Usage Auditing For .NET Applications

Memory usage can have a direct impact on how fast an application executes and thus is important to optimize. In this article we discuss the basics of memory optimization for .NET programs.

Design: Inspect and Optimize Your Program's Memory Usage with the .NET Profiler API

Developers using .NET often make memory leak tracking a low priority because the common language runtime takes care of garbage collection. What few developers realize, however, is that their objects' lifespans, along with their size and what other objects have been instantiated, all affect how they are cleaned up. Depending on the particular circumstances, these combinations can negatively affect performance, especially over the lifetime of an application. This article presents a way for developers to see memory usage and understand garbage collection using the .NET Profiler API. Along the way, a sample application to demonstrate these principles is built.

WmiPrvSE.exe causes a huge memory leak in SQL server 2008 R2, why?

My OS is windows server 2008 r2 data center 64 bit and my SQL server is server 2008 R2. The problem is when I open sql server, the WmiPrvSE.exe process consumes 20 - 60kbs every second. Several hours later, it eats up at least 200mbs memorry and this process seems like it will never stop. Can any experts give me some ideas to fit this mess? PS: My mainboard is Asus striker II formular, cpu is intel quad-core. Also, all my software are updated to latest version.

SQL server memory / speed configuration

Let me preface this by saying I'm aware of SQL server memory architecture, i.e it takes as much as it can get it's hand's on ...I've read through all the post's on here and they have been very helpful ... However if someone could take a look at these these configuration values ... I'm trying to get a new server dialed in, I'm still having some user end speed issues, and application hangup's that seem sql related ... I'm by no means a dba so if someone who's knowledgeable could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it ... I feel like something is not configured properly ...

SQL Server Management Studio - Invalid access to memory location

In SQL Server Management Studio (for SQL Server 2008), when I try to open a new query window, or create a new database, I get a popup error box saying the following: "Invalid access to memory location. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800703E6) (mscorlib)" This just started happening in the last few days, and I have no idea why. I even uninstalled SQL Server 2008, and then installed SQL Server 2008 R2, and continued to get the exact same error, in the exact same scenarios. Please let me know if you have seen this before, and what I might try to correct it. Thanks, Robert

Form background images and memory usage

Hello everyone, please forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this post. I have written a Windows App in C#. It's a real small application (something like a widget) that stays on your desktop and shows pictures of a folder in a random sequence. Before showing another picture i use : this.BackgroundImage.Dispose(); so that i keep memory usage low. If i won't do that i can see memory rising (depends on the image size). Now the code i use to change the picture is : this.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(path, true); So my question is about this last line of code. Is this a good approach of changing the picture after a while? (this code runs in a loop) Should i care about memory usage? The form is a small one for this kind of app, so loading big and large pictures can have some issues i guess. I have been monitoring my app for some time , memory and cpu usage were really low but i would like to know another and better approach on this one if somoeone knows. de_Stan

Max Server Memory Alteration..

I am running SQL Server 2005 Enterprise on Win Server 2003 SP1 32 bit with 16 GB RAM. I have both /3BG and /PAE enabled. AWE is enabled for SQL Server. I have set the Max Server Memory to 12 GB. When I check the perfmon counters, The Available MBytes is about 2.3 GB. This means that I am not using this 2.3 GB of my 16 GB memory. What I am thinking is that instead of keeping the /3GB switch, I will remove it and make the Max Server Memory to 13 GB. Will this be euqivalent to my prevoius configuration? Will my SQL Server get the same RAM as before? Anyways, what's the advice to achieve optimum utilization of RAM?

SQL Server not releasing memory back!

Hi Guys, ÃÂ I have done enough research on this topic and understood that SQL Server loves to cache as much memory as it can get hold of , but did not find a straight forward answer to my problem. ÃÂ To explain things in detail, We are currently using SQL Server 2005 (64 Bit) on Windows 2003 (64 Bit) with 32 GB of RAM. This morning when I checked,ÃÂ it was showing theÃÂ memoryÃÂ as 1GB RAM.ÃÂ ÃÂ As soon as I stopped and restarted SQL Sever, I got back all 31GB of it! This is a live mirrored server, and theÃÂ data is exposed through a .NETÃÂ Win Application. Also, this is a dedicated SQL Server. ÃÂ The min and max memory of the SQL Server is set at 16ÃÂ and 2147483647 respectively. ÃÂ My questions: 1. What can be done to make SQL Server release the memory back once the process is complete? ÃÂ 2. If this involves setting a limit to the max memory of the SQL Server, what can it be set to? And does setting the max memory low affect the performance of server? ÃÂ 3. I have other servers that are not dedicated SQL Servers which are showing the same 'memory' related problems, what should be the max memory setting on these ? ÃÂ Any help in this regard is deeply appreciated. ÃÂ Little_Birdie.

Not Releasing memory in sql server 2008 R2

HI I have a server with 8 Gb Ram I installed Sql server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition on 64 bit platform Enterprise edition,in that for Sql server I allocated 6 GB of Ram I enable the AWE oprtion as well but in processing time it taking above 6 Gb ram like 7.gb or more after query completing its not release the memory how can I resolve this issue. Actually when we running quries it taking the memory and memory increasing gradually after executing the query its not releasing the memory per example I set maximum 6 GB per Sql server then I run the query memory will increase gradually like 3.4 gb,3.7 gb, 4.5gb,and so on it will reach 7.56gb then after it steadily over there not come to down I am using X64 bit windows server 2008 sql server 2008 R2. My system configuration is sql server 2008R2(10.0.3798) windows server 2008 X64 Ram is 8GB

Can anyone explain how SQL Server performance scales with CPUs/Cores, memory, disk drives, etc?

I have experienced the situation where our application running on an expensive system with two 4 core CPUs ran slower than on a cheap machine with one dual core CPU. Both machines had similar memory capacity. In each case, the same query was being run by only one user. It would be nice to find a way to increase performance, but if adding cores doesn't help, what can a poor developer do? Customers get annoyed when they spend a truckload of money on a new server and nothing changes... Another potential problem is when customers have an expensive SAN system Sometimes the performance is much slower then on a system with conventional storage. Can anyone explain the relationship between SQL Server perfomance and hardware ?
