Checking memory used by RATS

Postby jonasdovern » Tue Aug 24, 2010 6:31 am

I coundn't find (or better: remember) the command which allows to check how much memory RATS currently uses. (I am running a Gibbs sampler which would run without error with a small number of iterations, but which crashes RATS when increasing the number of iterations. I would like to check if memory problems are the problem...)

You can do:

SHOW MEMORY

However, if the program is actually crashing (i.e. shutting down spontaneously), it is highly unlikely that it would be do running out of memory.

Thanks. I'll check how the used memory evolves. The program is not actually shutting down - but rather stops working and displays (according to my translation, I have a German system): "Application does not react anymore".
