Hi [tqchen](https://discuss.tvm.apache.org/u/tqchen),
Thank you for your reply! We are curently using the tvm v0.6. So is there any way to reduce the memory usage after building a operator for tvm v0.6? Can i call a method to free the memory? Thank you in advance! BTW, I have tested these two sample codes for tvm v0.7 and v0.6. From the result, we can see that memory usage in tvm v0.7 version increased very slower than the one for tvm v0.6. That's good, thank you for your effort! environment: **ubuntu v18.04, python v3.7.5** Test result for tvm v0.7(current master version): **Used Memory before building: 70.76171875 MB** **Used Memory after building the first operator: 88.33984375 MB** **Used Memory after building the last operator: 89.859375 MB** **Used Memory after building: 89.859375 MB** Test result for tvm v0.6: **Used Memory before building: 80.60546875 MB** **Used Memory after building the first operator: 93.828125 MB** **Used Memory after building the last operator: 126.45703125 MB** **Used Memory after building: 126.45703125 MB** Sample code for tvm v0.7: import os, psutil import tvm from tvm import te def tvm_build(): n = 2 A = te.placeholder((n,), name='A') B = te.placeholder((n,), name='B') C = te.compute(A.shape, lambda *i: A(*i) + B(*i), name='C') s = te.create_schedule(C.op) m = tvm.driver.lower(s, [A, B, C], name="test_add") rt_mod = tvm.driver.build(m, target="llvm") def main(): process = psutil.Process(os.getpid()) print('Used Memory before building:', process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024, 'MB') total = 5000 for i in range(0, total+1): tvm_build() if i == 0: print('Used Memory after building the first operator:', process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024, 'MB') if i == total: print('Used Memory after building the last operator:', process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024, 'MB') print('Used Memory after building:', process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024, 'MB') if __name__ == "__main__": main() Sample code for tvm v0.6: import sys, os, psutil def tvm_build(): n = 2 A = tvm.placeholder((n,), name='A') B = tvm.placeholder((n,), name='B') C = tvm.compute(A.shape, lambda *i: A(*i) + B(*i), name='C') s = tvm.create_schedule(C.op) m = tvm.lower(s, [A, B, C], name="test_add") rt_mod = tvm.build(m, target="llvm") def main(): process = psutil.Process(os.getpid()) print('Used Memory before building:', process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024, 'MB') total = 5000 for i in range(0, total+1): tvm_build() if i == 0: print('Used Memory after building the first operator:', process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024, 'MB') elif i == total: print('Used Memory after building the last operator:', process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024, 'MB') print('Used Memory after building:', process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024, 'MB') if __name__ == "__main__": main() --- [Visit Topic](https://discuss.tvm.apache.org/t/memory-leak-how-to-free-memory-manually-after-building-a-operator-for-long-running-building-case/8037/3) to respond.
