Processing unix ”pmap” output of a JVM

Analysis of the output of

pmap

using R seemed to take forever. The functional programming style did not help much. But the code with comments is below.

I plan to use this code as part of a ‘nmon’ data analyzer. Code will be in github soon.

@ Set the current directory so that the graphs are generated there
this.dir <- dirname(parent.frame(2)$ofile) 
setwd(this.dir) 



#Split unix 'pmap' output. This line is like black magic to me at this time.
d <- do.call(rbind, lapply(strsplit(readLines("D:\\Log analysis\\Process Maps\\pmap_5900"), "\\s+"), function(fields) c(fields[1:10], paste(fields[-(1:10)], collapse = " "))))

#Now I am assigning some columns names
colnames(d) <- c("Address","Kbytes","RSS","Dirty Mode","Mapping","Test6","Test7","Test8","Test9","Test10","Test11")

#This section isolates and graphs mainly 'anon' memory sizes


#Aggregate and sum by type of memory allocation to get cumulative size for each type
Type2 <- setNames(aggregate(as.numeric(d[,"Kbytes"]), by=list(d[,"Test6"]),FUN=sum,na.rm=TRUE),c("AllocationType","Size"))

#I don't want this line. The extra braces in the original file have been added to the columns separately
Type2 <-subset(Type2, Type2$AllocationType != "[")

#Create data frame and cleanse
x<-data.frame(d[,7],d[,6],d[,2])
y<-subset(x, x[1] != "NA")
z<-data.frame(y[1],y[3])
