Hi, I'm working with 4D integer matrices and need to compute std() on a given axis but I experience problems with excessive memory consumption. Example: --- import numpy a = numpy.random.randint(100,size=(50,50,50,200)) # 4D randint matrix b = a.std(3) --- It seems that this code requires 100-200 Mb to allocate 'a' as a matrix of integers, but requires >500Mb more just to compute std(3). Is it possible to compute std(3) on integer matrices without spending so much memory?
I manage 4D matrices that are not much bigger than the one in the example and they require >1.2Gb of ram to compute std(3) only. Note that quite all this memory is immediately released after computing std() so it seems it's used just internally and not to represent/store the result. Unfortunately I haven't all that RAM... Could someone explain/correct this problem?
