How to increase memory usage in Python in Linux?










0















I am running a loop for finding out optimum parameter set for a random forest classifier in scikit-learn. I ma allocating 32 GB memory in the script but the program is using only 300 MB memory. Is there any way to increase the memory usage? Usage summary is as follows.



Cpus requested: 8 : Cpus Used: 1.38
Cpu Time: 00:01:02 : Cpu percent: 17.2%
Mem requested: 32.0GB : Mem used: 283.3MB
: Mem percent: 0.9%

  • What code did you use to try allocating 32 GB?

  • @ahota I am using a pbs script. Corresponding code is as follows. #PBS -l select=1:ncpus=1:mem=4GB

    I meant what you're using in Python to try allocating memory. To allocate dummy memory, I would do something like big_string = ' ' * 100000
