Hello R experts,
I'm trying to test R in a shared memory environment in which addressable memory
is aggregrated to about 600G.
However, I get an error of 'too many elements' specified when I try creating a
45K x 100K matrix.
I tried running R with a --max-nsize=50000000000 option, but got the same
message.
Is there a way to run create such large matrices?
No. See ?"Memory-limits" (a matrix in R is also a vector).
NB: setting a limit on Ncells (there normally is not one) isn't going
to help allocation of vectors, is it?
thanks,
Paul Rodriguez
