I am running python from Spyder on my VM. The VM has 32 gb RAM, however spyder does not use more than 2GB. Is there any way I can increase the memory going to Spyder?

Thanks!

    Unfortunately this is not a question that can be answered from an Azure perspective, but from your specific OS or possibly Spyder. There should be no difference in running this on a local computer vs the cloud.

    I would start by verifying that your OS has access to that much memory (Task Manager in Windows, or 'free -h' in Linux.

    If you are not using enough memory, it will usually require an adjustment to your code, or to a setting within the OS or Spyder.
