Hello everyone! I have come across some unexpectedly high memory usage whilst running a hierarchical model - so much so my AWS Linux container (12GB memory) is running out of memory. Set-up: 2.1m observations Params by tree level Level 0 - 3 params Level 1 - 151 params Level 2 - 576 params L…

@cocodimama I think the bottleneck is the logp/dlogp function which holds several intermediate computations in RAM. It’s hard to say what freedom you have, because this depends on the exact model and operations you have. There is a memory profiler for PyTensor functions but I have never used it mys…

Thanks Jesse - by Deterministic I assume you’re referring to the ‘Bound’ construct I’m using?
