Software calls to Python consume a lot of memory

When I use Flexsim to call Python, the software takes up a lot of memory. The model runs for 1 hour and takes up up to 50GB, maybe more. I found no exceptions using both the Memory Profiler and Performance Profiler tools.


This is a KiVa-like model, 300 KiVas in total, calling Astar script written in python. The model involves confidentiality and cannot be shared, I wonder if others have encountered similar problems and how to check what went wrong.

This looks like you are testing each kiva agent against all other. Agent system in FlexSim uses a a zone detection, which reduces testing amount limited to agents inside zones. This reduces the amount of tests. I think it is a design problem rather than a problem of calling python scripts,
