Monte Carlo - RAM usage issue, run each point consecutively?

$

Hi,

I have the same question as this 10 year old post:
community.cadence.com/.../is-there-a-way-to-prevent-monte-carlo-runs-from-accumulating-ever-more-ram-space-memory

I try to run Monte-Carlo on a large circuit.
For example running 8 MC points with 4 jobs, each job has to run 2 points consecutively.

The issue is that the memory (RAM) seems to fill up. One simulation takes about ~150GB of RAM (which is OK, the system has 256GB).
After a job finishes the first point, I would expect it to clear the RAM, and continue with the second point with almost 0 RAM usage at the beginning.
But apparently the data from the finished point stays in the RAM, filling it up, and the simulation gets killed before the second point can finish.

Is it possible to start a new job for each Monte-Carlo Point, and running each point consecutively?

Informations:
- In the Job Policy Setup, Distribution method is set to "Command".
- Cadence Version is IC6.1.8-64b.500.8
