Is there anyway to get a report on the amound of RAM and storage used during the computation?
I can easily find the computational time at the end of .log file.
I was wondering if there is any further information?
```
times: compile 0.439s, execution 84.576s, mpirank:0
######## We forget of deleting 4222 Nb pointer, 0Bytes , mpirank 0, memory leak =0
CodeAlloc : nb ptr 5700, size :578008 mpirank: 0
Ok: Normal End
```
would you please explain about `4222 Nb pointer` or `nb prt 5700` or `size :578008` ?

You can simply use the command-line flag `-v 0`, or `verbosity = 0` at the bottom of your script. FreeFEM has a pseudo-memory counter, but it’s not working properly in some instances.

yes it is a bit difficult to get anything else than the total cpu time.

you can use function
storageused() or storagetotal();
in you script to now down the memory usage.
