Track child process information

[erikhuck]

It could be helpful to not only track the maximum gpu ram and ram over the main process and its children but to also give more granular data i.e. the ram of the main process alone followed by the individual measurements for each of its children. It could have a dictionary that maps the "main" process and each of its children (by process ID) to a dictionary containing a "max_ram" and "max_gpu" field. The overall max_ram and max_gpu can then be calculated from that dictionary rather than being calculated directly.

The tracker should probably have a verbose flag that displays just the summed information vs. the more granular version.

Good idea!

This actually may not be the most viable in the case that a user's main process spawns several different child processes, constantly closing one and starting another. There could be information collected for very many different child processes which only existed for a relatively brief period of time. If we do implement this, we may want to include a warning in the documentation informing them that a lot of memory could be used by the Tracker itself if their process spawns a bunch of child processes so they can choose to keep this setting as False if desired.

Agree.
