Monitor Memory

MONITOR_MEMORY

function [ memory_in_use ] = monitor_memory(workspace)

MONITOR_MEMORY

uses the WHOS command to evaluate the total memory used by all the variables in the specified workspace ('caller' or 'base') The output is returned in MB. Note that this does not represent the actual working memory used by MATLAB.

mem_elements = evalin(workspace,'whos');
if size(mem_elements,1) > 0

    for i = 1:size(mem_elements,1)
        memory_array(i) = mem_elements(i).bytes;
    end

    memory_in_use = sum(memory_array);
    memory_in_use = memory_in_use/1048576;
else
    memory_in_use = 0;
end

end
