The actual "used by kernel+applications" is, I think, 371.

OK! Thank you for the explanations. But raising this case, what is the
parameter to be controlled? And compared to the controls I mentioned
above which
of the two actually fit the occupation of RAM ?

You have 7GB+ free out of 8GB. And you're concerned with memory usage?
LOL
Why do you have 20GB of swap? Given your memory usage, assuming the
above is "typical", and the fact you have 8GB RAM, I'm going to guess
you could likely get by with no swap device at all.
You have nothing to worry about. Unless of course this is an "idle"
state, and you run some gargantuan simulation app that eats all 8GB when
launched. I doubt that's the case, as you'd not be asking this question
if you used such an app.
