I assume that $6 in carpet-memory_procs is gridfunctions, but please check that and include the information in the plot.

The allocated memory also grows dramatically, suggesting a memory leak, but not enough to account for the growth in rss. It's possible that something other than regridding is responsible. Do you have any HDF5 output enabled that might coincide with iteration 2048? HDF5 might be allocating buffers on first output that are then not freed because they will be used again later. Can you disable all output and see what happens?</div><div><br class=""></div></div><div class="">
