I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve. Memory usage is a gauge. Are you trying to get a usage figure in "megabyte-hours" or somesuch? In that case, you can calculate the average memory usage over the period of interest, and then multiply it by the duration of the period.
sum(foo) or average(foo) will give you calculations at a single instant in time, across multiple timeseries. average_over_time(foo[range]) will give you calcuations separately across each timeseries, over a given range. sum_over_time() is almost certainly not what you're looking for, as it will get messed up if any samples in the period are missed.
