High RAM usage in company environments #49

Open btalb opened 2 years ago

btalb commented 2 years ago

High RAM usage in company (~50GB) causes company runs to be killed when the system doesn't have enough RAM.

Setting up a machine with sufficient swap space will allow the environment to run, but we want to get that RAM usage down so BenchBot can comfortably run on a system with 32GB RAM.

From discussions directly with NVIDIA:

RAM usage will decrease in the next release of Isaac Sim
MDL files take up a lot of RAM, we could look at the assets in BenchBot's environments and see if we can optimise them to reduce RAM usage
We're unlikely to get to RAM requirements down to under 32GB

If you are trying to run BenchBot on a system with less than 64GB of RAM, for now we recommend adding a swap file to allow the environment to run.
