how do i check memory consumption in a Mac ?

Hi,

In windows, we just press CTRL+ALT+DEL, and check how much memory our game is taking.
Is there a similar way to check the same thing in Mac OS ?

thanks,
Bruno

It supports many common UNIX commands, such as 'top'.

If you're unfamiliar with Unix, you could use /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app.

Or try using the shark application. That is especially good for when you want to find out how much memory an entire action does.

Click Spotlight (the magnifying glass in the upper right corner) and start typing the name of a program. "Act" should list Activity Monitor, for example. If you're just looking for peak memory usage, this should be sufficient.

Shark is best to launch from within Xcode, if you want in-depth information.
