What are the best practices for preventing memory leaks in JAX

1. Minimize Unnecessary References: Memory leaks often occur when large arrays are unnecessarily retained. Implement proper cleanup by explicitly removing references to large arrays when they are no longer needed. This can be achieved by setting variables to `None` after use[1].

2. Use `jax.clear_caches()`: Regularly clear any cached computations using `jax.clear_caches()` to prevent memory accumulation from cached results[1].

3. Prevent Memory Fragmentation: Memory fragmentation can significantly impact performance. To minimize it, preallocate arrays when possible and use in-place updates instead of creating new arrays. Batch operations to reduce the frequency of memory allocations[1].

4. Monitor Memory Usage: Use profiling tools to track memory usage. JAX provides a device memory profiler that can help identify memory leaks by visualizing changes in memory usage over time[7].

5. Optimize Device Transfers: Minimize host-device transfers by batching data transfers and performing multiple operations on the device before transferring results back to the host[1].

6. Use `jax.jit` Wisely: While `jax.jit` optimizes repeated computations, ensure that it is used effectively to avoid unnecessary memory allocation during the compilation process[1].

7. Avoid Asynchronous Dispatch Issues: When running multiple simulations in a loop, ensure that each iteration completes before starting the next to avoid asynchronous dispatch issues that can lead to memory jumps[8].
