NumPy - Memory
Q: Where is all my memory going?
A: It disappears a little bit at a time.
BlueGene/P has 512 MB per core.
Compute note kernel is another 34 MB.
NumPy library is ~ 38 MB.
Python Interpreter 12 MB.
Can't always get the last 50 MB, NumPy to blame?
Try this simple test:
import numpy as np
A = np.zero((N,N),dtype=float)
Beware of temporary matrices, they are sometimes not
obvious
D = np.dot(A,np.dot(B,C))
