hey,
I am unable to find the api in java and perl binding to find the host node's
current memory and cpu information. Any body has any idea where I can find
the information?

I'm not certain about whether the Java & Perl bindings support them,
but these are the calls you should use:
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virNodeGetInfo
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virNodeGetCellsFreeMemory
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virNodeGetFreeMemory
For CPU usage of the host, libvirt doesn't specifically provide that
information. If the hypervisor is Xen, then you can get information
about CPU usage of Dom0 (usually what is meant by "the host") using:
http://libvirt.org/html/libvirt-libvirt.html#virDomainGetInfo
but that won't work for QEMU/KVM where "the host node" is just the
Linux kernel. (In the local case, you can extract that information
you need just by looking in /proc or using ordinary Linux tools).

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.

Great!
I have Xen hypervisor. Can I can memory information from "domain 0" instance
as well. How to get physical utilization of each CPU attached to host? I
know this is being handled in virt-top but how?

Yes, although because of the Xen model where dom0 is just a special
guest, the amount of memory used by dom0 isn't indicative of the
amount of memory available for new guests. Only the hypervisor knows
that, and we don't expose it through libvirt [1].
How to get physical utilization of each CPU attached to host? I

It's really really complicated. I could explain it here, but that
would amount to an imprecise description of what is precisely
described in the virt-top code itself. So you're better off just
going and reading that code to find out how to do it.

[1] AFAIK -- perhaps we do through the NUMA calls?
