does not look like it on this box:

Router#show version | i mem
cisco ASR1001 (1RU) processor with 6848986K/6147K bytes of memory.
32768K bytes of non-volatile configuration memory.
16777216K bytes of physical memory.
Router#

Try looking at the output of "show redundancy".  The ASR1000 had some kind of IOS redundancy feature to run two IOS processes on a box splitting up memory between them.


Greetings
Christian
