# tensorplay.cuda.memory_summary

Source: https://www.tensorplay.cn/docs/generated/tensorplay.cuda.memory_summary.html

```python
tensorplay.cuda.memory_summary(device: Any = None, abbreviated: bool = False) → str
```

Return a human-readable printout of the current memory allocator statistics for a given device.

This can be useful to display periodically during training, or when
handling out-of-memory exceptions.

Parameters:

- device ([tensorplay.Device](/docs/generated/tensorplay.Device.html#tensorplay.Device) or [int](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#int), optional) – selected device. Returns printout for the current device, given by [current_device()](/docs/generated/tensorplay.cuda.current_device.html#tensorplay.cuda.current_device), if [device](/docs/generated/tensorplay.cuda.device.html#tensorplay.cuda.device) is None (default).

- abbreviated ([bool](https://docs.python.org/3/builtins/functions.html#bool), optional) – whether to return an abbreviated summary (default: False).
