System Memory

physical memory size

Physical memory is the RAM installed on a system.
The size of physical memory is a hard upper bound on the size of a process
before parts of it have to be paged to disk or SSD.
In practice, some of physical memory is permanently allocated to the kernel
and other services that have to stay resident in memory.
The remainder of physical memory is managed by the OS and shared
among all running processes. No one process will ever get all of physical memory.

physical memory use

The "Resident set size" ("Working set size" on Windows)
is the amount of physical memory (RAM) used by a process's code and data.
Monitoring size changes is an important way to find memory leaks and improve performance
