How about memoryused? It might be more self-explanatory.

I agree that simply getmemory is not a good name.
memoryused is indeed better.
Any other opinions ? cutorch has a getMemoryUsage (which prints the total memory available and the memory used for the GPU). Maybe it would be good to have some uniformity in there.

getMemoryUsage sounds good to me as well 😄 I agree that it might be better to keep it similar.

but there is a difference between getMemoryUsage and this PR in the sense that this PR aims at showing the memory used by torch, and not the total memory used. BTW, the same PR could be done in cutorch, in which case we would have different functions which behave differently but with a similar purpose.

Hm, ok, you're right. Do you have any suggestions for the name? getTorchMemory[Usage]?

torch.getHeapSize ?

Sounds a bit as if it would return Lua's heap size as well, but I like it.
