              The committed memory is a sum of all of the memory which

              has been allocated by processes, even if it has not been

              "used" by them as of yet. A process which malloc()'s 1G

              of memory, but only touches 300M of it will only show up

              as using 300M of memory even if it has the address space

              allocated for the entire 1G. This 1G is memory which has

              been "committed" to by the VM and can be used at any time

              by the allocating application. With strict overcommit

              enabled on the system (mode 2 in 'vm.overcommit_memory'),

              allocations which would exceed the CommitLimit (detailed

              above) will not be permitted. This is useful if one needs

              to guarantee that processes will not fail due to lack of

              memory once that memory has been successfully allocated.
