Incorrect result

[eldar-mustafayev]

The bug
In the function below the plugin calculated that memory usage is less than one MB. However, when I print the actual size of the array it is between 7 and 8 MB. I assume it is related to the memory_profiler, because I experienced similar result when using it.

def test_extension():
    ROWS = 1000000000
    data = np.empty(ROWS)
    with open('temp.txt', 'w') as out:
        out.write(str(sys.getsizeof(data)))

    assert True

Hello @eldar-mustafayev

Thanks for reporting :) The plugin reports memory used in MB.
I just tried it with your snippet (thanks for providing it btw!)

Here are the results:

bash $> sqlite3 .pymon
sqlite> select TOTAL_TIME, USER_TIME, KERNEL_TIME, MEM_USAGE, CPU_USAGE, ITEM, ITEM_PATH  from TEST_METRICS where ITEM_PATH = 'pkg1.test_mb';
TOTAL_TIME|USER_TIME|KERNEL_TIME|MEM_USAGE|CPU_USAGE|ITEM|ITEM_PATH
0.00799322128295898|0.018202272|0.004366944|13.4453125|2.82354450115326|test_extension|pkg1.test_mb

As you can see, your function consumes 13MB. This includes: namespaces, imports and datas.
I think you just got confused with the unit size for memory report.

I let you close, unless I misunderstood your problem or something else lies beneath this issue :)

Hi @js-dieu. Thanks for the reply. Actually it's quite interesting, because I am still getting a result lower than 1 MB. What do you think about that? What am I doing wrong?

(venv) [root@vultr ~]# sqlite3 .test

Hello @eldar-mustafayev

Something lies in your environment and yet ... it remains unexplained :)
Can you print the output of the following lines (in the environment you use to obtain such results!)

import numpy as np
np.show_config()

Also, if you can make a strace of the pytest run (with only that test) it would be for sure usefull...

Hello @js-dieu . Thanks for help, I printed logs you asked for. Hope, this will be helpful. :)

Thanks for reporting @eldar-mustafayev

However, I was refering to strace program which can trace all sys calls from an executable, not the log of pytest. Can you do the necessary ?

[eldar-mustafayev]

Sorry for late response. I hope this will help to identify the problem:
