Investigating chrome processes memory usage

[Usama Naseer]

Hi folks. I am working on investigating Chrome's memory usage on mobile phones. The goal is to divide the total memory used into memory used by individual processes (eg, rendering, scripting). Is this possible?

I can see 3 processes when I load a website in chrome. The memory distribution is shown below. I am unable to see any separate rendering or painting process. Rather there's a per-tab "sandboxed" process that seems to be using most of the RAM and I believe that's the process responsible for rendering, painting, scripting etc. Is there a way to divide its memory usage according to the different functions (rendering, painting, scripting)?

Thanks!

The memory-infra category in chrome://tracing provides a per-component breakdown of memory usage. We also support malloc profiling.

Unfortunately, "memory usage" is a poorly defined concept. We have some documentation here that describes some of the subtleties.
