Eh... 10 million rows, 200 columns, 8 byte data is about 2GB. My laptop with 64G ram seems adequate. Actually, a 16G laptop (using a macbook pro instead of a windows or linux rig) might even be adequate.
That 244GB machine does sound nice, though I imagine pumping data in and out seems like a minor chore. -- Raul On Sun, Sep 9, 2018 at 7:29 PM Skip Cave <[email protected]> wrote: > > From the R-Bloggers Blog: If your project is large (millions of rows, > hundreds of columns) you really should rent an an Amazon EC2 r4.8xlarge > (244 GiB RAM) machine for an hour for about $2.13 (quick setup instructions > here > <http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2018/01/setting-up-rstudio-server-quickly-on-amazon-ec2/>) > and experience speed at scale. > > Skip Cave > Cave Consulting LLC > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
