[BProc] fetching current page allocation in a bproc environment

[Jeff B. <je...@la...>]

folks,

I need to track memory allocation on slave (compute) nodes in a bproc 
environment.  I'm currently pulling data from /proc/<pid>/statm - rss.  The 
data looks suspect.  All pages are allocated essentially at startup and the 
number never grows.  This is not consistent with the behavior of the 
program I'm tracking.

Is there a better way to fetch current page allocation in a bproc 
environment?  We are running bproc version 3.2.6 (returned from bproc_version).

thanks!
