in reply to Re^5: Reduce RAM required
in thread Reduce RAM required
Is it "wrapping in-place"? Even if, because of COW, no data is moved in memory with this assignment:
${ $pdl-> get_dataref } = $scalar_eg_5_Gb_long
it still requires pre-existance of 5 Gb, zero or garbage-filled, ndarray, or is it wrong? At some point during execution, RAM usage would peak to 10 Gb.
