'Does gc.collect really release memory?
I am trying to release memory using gc.collect(). But I do not really understand how it works. For example:
Before I run del and gc, the used memory is 58g. After running them, the used memory is still 58. It looks that no memory has been released. I sense gc is different than shutting down python and starting again, which actually release memory.
So I am wondering how to actually release the memory so that I can load other data?
