Is there any way to monitor the memory usage of a specific software using MATLAB?

In my code, I use actxserver to run MS Excel and in MS Excel, there is a VBA code which runs another software named Maxsurf Modeler. Is it possible to monitor the memory usage of software Maxsurf Modeler via MATLAB?

It would not surprise me if you could use a .NET method to examine memory size.

Hi Walter,

Can you elaborate it a bit?

Thanks!

If you start a process using the .NET control System.Diagnostics.Process then the WorkingSet property should return the amount of memory being used for the process; see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.process.workingset64?view=net-6.0

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/583955-get-the-status-using-system-command-when-program-has-been-closed#answer_485480 gives an example of starting a process using System.Diagnostics.Process
