Examples

>>> import numpy
>>> print('Free memory =', cf.free_memory()/2**30, 'GiB')
Free memory = 88.2728042603 GiB
>>> a = numpy.arange(10**9)
>>> print('Free memory =', cf.free_memory()/2**30, 'GiB')
Free memory = 80.8082618713 GiB
>>> del a
>>> print('Free memory =', cf.free_memory()/2**30, 'GiB')
Free memory = 88.2727928162 GiB
