Here's from the man of ps:  The ">" or "<" are normal.

 

             Additional characters after these, if any, indicate
additional

             state information:

 

             +       The process is in the foreground process group of
its

                     control terminal.

             <       The process has raised CPU scheduling priority.

             >       The process has specified a soft limit on memory
require-

                     ments and is currently exceeding that limit; such a

                     process is (necessarily) not swapped.

             A       the process has asked for random page replacement

                     (VA_ANOM, from vadvise(2), for example, lisp(1) in
a

                     garbage collect).

             E       The process is trying to exit.

             L       The process has pages locked in core (for example,
for

                     raw I/O).

             N       The process has reduced CPU scheduling priority
(see

                     setpriority(2)).

             S       The process has asked for FIFO page replacement
(VA_SEQL,

                     from vadvise(2), for example, a large image
processing

                     program using virtual memory to sequentially
address

                     voluminous data).

             s       The process is a session leader.

             V       The process is suspended during a vfork.

             W       The process is swapped out.

             X       The process is being traced or debugged.
