How to Fix High RAM Usage on a Linux Dedicated Server

Image
Experiencing sluggish performance, unresponsive terminals, or unexpected application crashes on your MIG servers infrastructure usually points to memory exhaustion. This guide provides the exact diagnostic commands and mitigation strategies to stabilize your Linux environment and permanently resolve memory leaks, using production-safe best practices. 1. Evaluate Current Memory Availability Before taking action, you must understand how your server distributes its resources. Run the following command to get a snapshot of your system's memory: free -h Metric Description Actionable Insight Total Physical RAM installed on your MIG Server. Baseline reference for your hardware capacity. Available Memory currently free and ready for new processes. If this is consistently near zero and swap is growing, your server is struggling. Buff/Cache RAM used by the Linux ker...

Dedicated Servers for AI Inference: CPU, GPU, RAM and Network Requirements

Image
You can install the most powerful GPU on the market into a server, load a large language model (LLM), and still experience severe performance bottlenecks. A dedicated server for AI inference can have a high-end accelerator and still perform poorly because of insufficient VRAM, KV-cache pressure, weak CPU resources, slow storage, or PCIe limitations. A GPU alone does not determine AI inference performance. AI inference is fundamentally a system-level workload. While the GPU is critically important, your CPU, system RAM, NVMe storage, networking, and interconnects must be perfectly balanced around the specific model and workload you are deploying. What Is AI Inference and Why Does Infrastructure Matter? To properly size an AI inference server, you must separate inference from training. AI training is a massive, highly parallel batch process that calculates and adjusts billions of parameters over weeks or months. AI inference—whether it is real-time generative AI, API mo...
