Tasks

  • Trash
  • Look through the bank stuff and see if there is enough to open an account

SBIRs

  • Work on loading arrays.
    • See how big all the files are. Iterate over all the pkl files but don’t keep anything, just increment the memory size value and the number of vectors. create a list of dicts
    • Sort the list by memory, and try loading up all the small ones until 14GB is passed. See if that works. If it does, use those to create a mapping
    • Based on the overall size of the pkl footprint, determine an optimal subsampling strategy
    • See how much it would cost to use a bigger box
    • Maybe try the NN approach? Possibly in steps until the array is the size that can fit in memory?
