DzAvril opened a new pull request, #12881:
URL: https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/12881

   ```c++
   Module GraphExecutorFactory::ExecutorCreate(const std::vector<Device>& devs) 
{
     auto exec = make_object<GraphExecutor>();
     exec->Init(this->graph_json_, this->imports_[0], devs, PackedFunc());
     // set params
     SetParams(exec.get(), this->params_);
     return Module(exec);
   }
   ```
   In the code block above, `params_` is defined as 
`std::unordered_map<std::string, tvm::runtime::NDArray>` and holds a copy of 
parameters deserialized from DSO model. After creating the graph executor this 
copy of parameters still resides in memory. It will waste lots of memory usage 
if the model is big.
   Take `resnet101` as an example. The size of the parameters is about 170.49 
MB. The picture below is the reported memory map of the process which inference 
with `resnet101`. The RSS in the anonymous mapping space is about 350 MB.

   We can release `this->params_` by `this->params_.clear()`. After release, 
the RSS decreases to 180 MB.
