Dear Harsha,
The error message means what it says. GAP was not able to store all the
information needed to complete your calculation in the memory allowed. There
are ways to allow it more memory, if your computer has more memory — on UNIX or
OS X this is done via the command line option, so instead of typing “gap” you
type something like “gap -o 2g” (which allocates 2 Gigabytes to GAP). On
Windows it’s a little more involved because Windows doesn’t have a proper
command line, and I’ll leave it to someone who uses GAP on Windows to explain
the details.
HOWEVER, experience tells us that, rather than allocating more memory it is
probably better to think whether your calculation can be done in a cleverer
way. Without knowing what you are doing, it’s hard to be specific, but common
errors include listing all the elements of a group when all you really need is
conjugacy class representatives or to search for the first element with some
property.
If you’d like further help you could send more details of your problem to the
supp...@gap-system.org or g...@gap-system.org mailing lists (the difference is
that gap@… is public, so more people are available to help with your problem,
but anyone can see what you asked).
