Now execution was over but still 50 gb of RAM and 2 Gb cache and 8.4 Gb of swap is occupied. At this moment nothing is running on the system. I have googled it. Most of th result shows that python garbage collector is poor in performance. I want this memory to be cleaned and re claim. One of the easiest way is to restart the system but i dont want to restart i want a way to do this when the system is up and running. Kindly tell me how to do this. Thanks
