python – Numpy和matplotlib垃圾收集

每组参数(Q,K)产生200x200x80数据点的3D体积网格数据,这需要~100 MB的数据.然后,该体积网格的一部分逐层绘制,产生~60个图像.

问题是python显然不会在此过程中释放内存.我不确定内存泄漏在哪里,或者规则如何控制python如何决定哪些对象被释放.我也不确定numpy数组或matplotlib图形对象中的内存是否丢失.

>有没有一种简单的方法来分析python中哪些对象在内存中持久存在以及哪些对象被自动释放？
>有没有办法强制python释放所有数组并计算在特定循环周期或特定函数调用中创建的对象？

代码的相关部分在这里(但是,它不会运行…模拟代码的大部分包括ctypes C / python接口被省略,因为它太复杂了)：
