Column NameMeaning
VSSVirtual Set Size: how much virtual memory associated with process
RSSResident Set Size: how much physical pages allocated for the process. Pages shared between processes are counted multiple times
PSSProportional Set Size. Take the RSS number but evenly distribute shared pages among the sharing processes. For example, if three processes are sharing 3MB, each process gets 1MB in PSS.
USSAlso known as Private Dirty, which is basically the amount of RAM inside the process that can not be paged to disk (it is not backed by the same data on disk), and is not shared with any other processes.
