5.1.76 memory
Syntax:
memory ( int_expression )
Type:
- bigint
Purpose:
- returns statistics concerning the memory management:
memory(0) is the number of active (used) bytes,
memory(1) is the number of bytes allocated from the
operating system,
memory(2) is the maximal number of bytes ever allocated from the
operating system during the current SINGULAR session.
Note:
- To monitor the memory usage during ongoing computations the option
mem should be set (using the command option(mem); , see
also option).
Example:
| ring r=0,(x(1..500)),dp;
poly p=(x(1)+x(500))^50;
proc ReportMemoryUsage()
{ "Memory currently used by SINGULAR :",memory(0),"Byte (",
int(memory(0)/1023), "KByte)" +newline+
"Memory currently allocated from system:",memory(1), "Byte (",
int(memory(1)/1023), "KByte)";
"Maximal memory allocated from system :",memory(2), "Byte (",
int(memory(2)/1023), "KByte)";
}
ReportMemoryUsage();
==> Memory currently used by SINGULAR : 224328 Byte ( 219 KByte)
==> Memory currently allocated from system: 670208 Byte ( 655 KByte)
==> Maximal memory allocated from system : 702016 Byte ( 686 KByte)
kill p;
ReportMemoryUsage(); // less memory used: p killed
==> Memory currently used by SINGULAR : 171088 Byte ( 167 KByte)
==> Memory currently allocated from system: 670208 Byte ( 655 KByte)
==> Maximal memory allocated from system : 702016 Byte ( 686 KByte)
kill r;
ReportMemoryUsage(); // even less memory: r killed
==> Memory currently used by SINGULAR : 160448 Byte ( 156 KByte)
==> Memory currently allocated from system: 666196 Byte ( 651 KByte)
==> Maximal memory allocated from system : 702016 Byte ( 686 KByte)
