[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44380] Facing memory limit of less than 1 GB

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #44380 (project octave):

Let's use "rand" to ensure memory is actually used, and put a pause in there
so the effect on memory might be monitored externally.


vecsize = 1;
while (1)
  vecsize = 2 * vecsize
  x = rand(vecsize, 1);
  pause();
  clear x;
end


The pause will stop the program at a point where the variable x is still
resident in memory.  On my system, I pause and then sit and wait for the
system disk usage monitor to update (every five seconds or so).  I'm able to
watch the memory usage slowly grow to 87.5%.  I then stop there to avoid going
into swap land.
