5.1.89 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 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) div 1024), "KByte)" +newline+
"Memory currently allocated from system:",memory(1), "Byte (",
int(memory(1) div 1024), "KByte)";
"Maximal memory allocated from system :",memory(2), "Byte (",
int(memory(2) div 1024), "KByte)";
}
ReportMemoryUsage();
==> Memory currently used by SINGULAR : 153872 Byte ( 150 KByte)
==> Memory currently allocated from system: 2289664 Byte ( 2236 KByte)
==> Maximal memory allocated from system : 2289664 Byte ( 2236 KByte)
kill p;
ReportMemoryUsage(); // less memory used: p killed
==> Memory currently used by SINGULAR : 83312 Byte ( 81 KByte)
==> Memory currently allocated from system: 2289664 Byte ( 2236 KByte)
==> Maximal memory allocated from system : 2289664 Byte ( 2236 KByte)
kill r;
ReportMemoryUsage(); // even less memory: r killed
==> Memory currently used by SINGULAR : 71080 Byte ( 69 KByte)
==> Memory currently allocated from system: 2289664 Byte ( 2236 KByte)
==> Maximal memory allocated from system : 2289664 Byte ( 2236 KByte)
