track system resources during evaluation of an expression
resources(expr)
expr |
An expression to be evaluated by eval() within the sys.parent() evaluation frame. |
The resources given by Venebles and Ripley had reported both Cache and Working memory usage. S-PLUS 7 no longer tracks Cache usage, so we only report the Working. Similarly, R has Ncells and Vcells, and the more important measure for users is Vcells, the memory heap.
Nothing is returned. The expression is evaluated and details are printed for CPU time, overall time, child process time, and heap space memory usage.
