This Python code uses the memory_profiler
library to measure the memory usage of a function, in this case, a lambda function that runs algo(dataset[:])
.
Breaking it down:
memory_profiler.memory_usage()
: This is a function from thememory_profiler
library used to monitor memory usage during the execution of some code.lambda: algo(dataset[:])
: A lambda function (an anonymous inline function) that evaluates the call toalgo
withdataset[:]
. The slicing operationdataset[:]
creates a shallow copy of thedataset
. This means the memory usage ofalgo(dataset[:])
depends on the shallow copy passed to it.max_usage=True
: This argument specifies thatmemory_profiler.memory_usage()
should return the peak memory usage during the execution of the provided lambda function.
Purpose:
The code assigns the peak memory usage (in MiB) of running the function algo
with dataset[:]
to the variable mem_usage
.
