You can track allocations using this: [Profiling · The Julia Language](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/profile/#Memory-allocation-analysis)

Maybe that can help, if you leave the process running for a while (or different spans of time), and check where allocations are occurring.

Here I give an example (because the manual is not as direct): [Disabling allocations - #10 by lmiq](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/disabling-allocations/51028/10)

Depending on your problem, you could check the memory usage and call the GC (I have used this before solving some problems in a parallel code, afterwards it was not useful anymore): [https://discourse.julialang.org/t/garbage-collector-behaviour-when-memory-is-almost-full](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/garbage-collector-behaviour-when-memory-is-almost-full)
