How to read the amount of free memory available?

I need a tool to tell me the amount of free memory left, at any given time. I want to tell my user in advance, and as the experiment proceeds, how much experiment time can remain before we will run out of memory. Yes I know, in a more perfect world the data would be written to disk and not stay in memory; but for now this solution would really help.

 

Please be clear: I'm not looking for the performance profiling tool. I need something that will tell my program, at runtime, how much memory is left available to it. Is there any such tool?

 

Thanks,

Ken
