[IPython-dev] ipython memory usage problem

[Chahe.Adourian at asc-csa.gc.ca]

Hi there,

I am using ipyparallel to run some tests. Every time I call the function on the remote engines, the memory use of the engine is increasing.
I have tried the following to clear the memory on the engines without success.


1)      dview.execute('%reset')

2)      dview.execute('%reset In')

3)      dview.execute('%reset Out')

4)      dview.execut('gc.collect')

5)      I used a more forceful approach where all the variables are deleted, but that kills my remote link as well to the engine.

The only solution so far is to stop the Engines and restart them again, but that's not my first choice. Anybody know what's going on? Why doesn't '%reset' cleanup properly?

Thanks
