Hi there

the memory bloating problem is with the kdb process and not the R process.

whenever the q process calls Rset there is orphan memory on the q process.

Also, .Q.gc does not release any memory. The q process and OS have different view on the amount of memory being consumed by the q process .in the end the q process shuts down even though it thinks it has low memory foot print.

Also, need to add that we are using a file called as rserve.so , I believe its not part of embedR project.

Currently we reassign the same variable with new data, will just calling gc resolve the bloating in that case?

Hi Rocuinneagain ,

1. I believe it is embedR project indeed.

2. yes we are using the latest code.

3.

Rset:`rserve 2:(`rsset;2);

meminfo:{(5#system”w”), 1024*”J”$system “ps -eo size -h -q “,string .z.i};

m1:meminfo[];

RSet[“temp”;100000?100];

m2:meminfo[];
