Dear all, I am exploring ways to perform multiplication of a 90000 x 40000 matrix with it's transpose. As expected even a 40000 x 100 %*% 100x40000 didn't work on my desktop... giving the error "Error: cannot allocate vector of length 1600000000"
However I am trying to run this on one node (64GB RAM; 2.60 GHz processor) of a high performance computing cluster. Appreciate if anyone has any comments on whether it's advisable to perform a matrix multiplication of this size using R and also on any better ways to handle this task. Kind Regards, Praveen.
