If the scripts are no longer running, then I assure you the garbage collector has nothing to do with it. My guess is the extra memory's taken by filesystem buffer.
By what metric are you deciding that 50GB of RAM is still occupied? Has the swap usage come down since the scripts exited? ________________________________ From: linuxusersgroup@googlegroups.com <linuxusersgroup@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Rahul Gupta <rahulgupta100...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2020 12:51 AM To: Linux Users Group <linuxusersgroup@googlegroups.com> Subject: [lug:18660] Ram memory not freed after executing python script on ubuntu system I am having a Ubuntu system which has 125 Gb of RAM. I executed few python scripts on that system. Those scripts uses numpy arrays and pandas. 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.
