Hi ,
Probably the following will throw some
light on the VM usage for a process .
cat /proc/{PID}/status | grep Vm*
VmSize -> Virtual memory usage of entire process
= VmLib + VmExe + VmData + VmStk
VmRSS -> Resident Set currently in physical memory
including Code, Data, Stack
VmData -> Virtual memory usage of Heap
VmStk -> Virtual memory usage of Stack.
Doest change much.
VmExe -> Virtual memory usage by executable and
statically linked libraries
VmLib -> Virtual memory usage by dlls loaded
Refer the below URL for more info on this :-

Hope this is useful .
Regards !
