Hopefull really simple. I want to artifically inflate my memory... i'm doing this for testing purposes... Any way in linux would be fine.
Python:
x = [0]
while True: x.extend(x)
This will double the size of x
until memory runs out (you get MemoryError
).
Just make a string. There are only a few extra bytes overhead, and very fast because the memory is all allocated at once
dummy = ' '*num_bytes_to_use_up
There's no portable way to ask how much free memory there is
under linux you can look at/parse /proc/meminfo
>>> open('/proc/meminfo').readlines()[1]
'MemFree: 1248940 kB\n'
>>> dummy = ' '*1000000000
>>> open('/proc/meminfo').readlines()[1]
'MemFree: 271472 kB\n'
>>> del dummy
>>> open('/proc/meminfo').readlines()[1]
'MemFree: 1243464 kB\n'
