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 with 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.
