Hi all,
I am wondering if someone noticed that GridSearch is eating more and more
memory over time? I read related discussion on the issue list on GitHub and it
sounds like that it has been solved (estimators are not kept anymore, and the
best estimator can optionally be refitted at the end of the GridSearch).
However, when I ran the GridSearch, I noticed that it always "crashed" after a
couple of hours. When I monitored the system usage over time, I saw the memory
utilization (almost linearly) increasing over time until it reached the 128 Gb
max of the machine I was running it on.
I then wrote a naive grid search with nested for loops and it had the same
issues. So, it is probably not the grid search but something with Python ...
Eventually, I added the 2 lines
gc.collect()
len(gc.get_objects())
which seem to do the trick! Especially the 2nd one. Now, I can run the
gridsearch for hours and with a constant ~6.8 Gb memory utilization.
I am curious, did anyone else have this memory issue?
Best,
Sebastian
