Giulia Macaro confirmed that the question is solved:
Thanks Anton for trying my script. I have found that if I restart the pc just
before starting the test and I do not run other programs apart from Yade, it
works fine for me too.
I have run some more tests on the same script, recording the total memory and
also the memory used by Yade only, using sysstat. Every time I was restarting
the pc before starting a new test.
I have found no increasing of memory (or only very slightly, from 2.38 to 2.55
% in 44 hours) if no other processes are running. But if then I start using
other programs (firefox, nautilus, and geany) at the same time, the memory used
by Yade increases faster (from 2.55 to 2.80 % in the following 3 hours).
The same script, but with more functions to periodically save the simulation,
gives a memory usage increasing from 2.21 to 4.02 in the first 23 hours (with
no other programs running) and then from 4.02 to 8.23 % in the following 3
hours (with others programs running too).
I understand if only the total memory would increase, but I do not see why
Yade uses more memory if I open firefox, for example. Or maybe I am missing
something about how the pc works.
I am wondering if someone has noticed the same behaviour before. Anyway, I am
also happy to not use the pc at all while running Yade and keep the memory low.
