This will give a slightly different estimate than pryr::mem_used, which uses gc() internally.
The purpose of this function is to allow continuous monitoring, external to the R session.
Normally, this is run in a different session.
This will only work if the user has specified before running the spades call,
set the interval, in seconds, that ps is run.
E.g., options("spades.memoryUseInterval" = 0.5), will assess memory use every 0.5 seconds.
The default is 0, meaning no interval, "off".
memoryUseThisSession(thisPid)
memoryUse(sim, max = TRUE)Numeric or integer, the PID of the process.
If omitted, it will be found with Sys.getpid().
A completed simList
Logical. If TRUE, then it the return value will be summarized by
module/event, showing the maximum memory used. If FALSE, then
the raw memory used during each event will be shown.
estimated memory use in MiB
data.table summarizing the estimated memory use (in MiB) for each event type,
for each module, during the simulation.
The suggested future and future.callr packages must be available.
