Release memory after using a network

[malegro]

Hi!

I'm trying to release the memory after loading a pretrained network and using it. 

del net

simply does not work. I ran several tests where I only load a network and try to unload it but the memory does not get released back to the system. I.e. if i try the following code:

untrained_style_net = caffe.Net(cell_net(train=False, subset='train'),weights, caffe.TEST)
del untrained_style_net

It doesn't work, even if I call the GC. By the way, the same thing is happens when I run the 02-fine-tuning notebook that comes with Caffe. 

Is there any way to force the memory release?

PS. I'm using Caffe in mac os El Captain and Anaconda.

HI, I want to do the same thing, but I don't know how to do it. Have you done this successfully?
