Suggested changes from Dr. Moseley:

• Conversion of JSON text into __str__ output is a bit inelegant. Should be able to replace this with some sort of template that utilizes the values in the JSON nested dictionary. But this would be an improvement for later. A simple multiline formatted string may work as the template.
• The setting of self._gpu_ram_coefficient should use a class level data member that stores the dictionary of unit to coefficient. Could call the class level data member _gpu_ram_unit2coefficient and _ram_unit2coefficient and _time_unit2coefficient.
• Could remove _validate_mem_unit and use _gpu_ram_unit2coefficient.keys() passed to _validate_unit.

@hunter-moseley Question about the first bullet point. Basing the text output on the JSON enforces consistency. I understand the implementation is a bit messy, but wouldn't manually constructing the string possibly be more error-prone?

[hunter-moseley]

Do something like the following:

template = """ Max RAM: Unit: gigabytes System capacity: {max_ram["system_capacity"]} System: {max_ram["system"]} Main: Total RSS: main["total_rss"]} Private RSS: main["private_rss"]} Shared RSS: main["shared_rss"]} Descendents: ... """ return template.format(**json_dict)

@hunter-moseley great idea! Then we get the best of both.
